So you can eat it. You can enjoy it. But you just need to watch what you eat. So after that you've had that sugary chocolate bar, or that piece of cake a good thing to do is rinse your mouth out with water it will help to cleanse your mouth and clean away some of that bacteria. If you can let's say it is after dinner and you had dessert go and brush your teeth if you can. Maybe your at the office you can excuse yourself to brush your teeth.
