American Dental Association answered:If you have cavities it's a good idea to avoid very hard and very sticky foods. These foods can get stuck to the cavity filling. In addition, some sugary foods or extremely hot and cold foods may cause you sensitivity.

Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:People with cavities should avoid sticky foods that may remain on their teeth after chewing. Sugary foods and drinks and some carbohydrates should be limited in the diet because sugar and bad bacteria in plaque create acid; causing cavities in the teeth. People with cavities should avoid snacking on sweet foods and drinks throughout the day.People with cavities should avoid sticky foods that may remain on their teeth after chewing.

Dr. Tom Berry answered:The types of foods you eat can increase your risk for dental decay. The bacteria on our teeth that cause cavities utilize sugars such as sucrose, fructose and lactose as food sources. These sugars are found in candies, sodas, sweets, fruits, fruit juices and milk products. The bacteria produce acid when they eat these sugars causing demineralization of the enamel and subsequently cavities in the tooth.
