You should know why Dentists wish you would be more careful eating popcorn.
Popcorn Can Fracture Your Teeth:
Dentists sees approximately one out of tenth tooth fractures caused by popcorn. Unpopped popcorn kernels are hard enough to break a tooth. If you break your tooth on a popcorn kernel, you may end up needing that tooth crowned or even replaced.
Popcorn Gets Stuck Between Teeth:
Popcorn hulls can easily become trapped between your teeth and resist even the most careful flossing. The fiber in the hulls does not break down. They are sharp enough to become trapped below the gumline. Left undetected, the popcorn hulls will attract and feed bacteria and plaque. This will lead to cavities and periodontal disease.

Popcorn Can Cause a Dental Abscess
With the formation of bacteria and plaque, you could end up with a dental abscess. A dental abscess can be extremely painful. If not properly treated, your abscess will result in tooth decay, gum disease, a receding gum line and eventual tooth loss.

You do not have to give up on popcorn. Just try to be cautious. Be sure to brush and floss soon after you finish eating. If you bite down on a popcorn kernel and experience pain or notice any signs of gum irritation, it is essential that you contact your dentist for an evaluation as soon as you can. Left untreated, a cracked tooth or embedded hull can lead to tooth loss. This is why your dentists wants you to be careful when eating popcorn.
