Common conclusions

Some chili food may bring about high contents of various vitamins, but too much spiciness may manifest blistering irritation of the lips and sloughing.

If you have mouth and teeth problems such as tooth decay or receding gum lines, overeating spicy food may bring you discomfort and may not be the best staple to your meal.

Avoid eating spicy food such as dark-colored sauce or anything that has turmeric, as it may discolor and damage your teeth.

You should avoid overeating spicy food if it gives you acid reflux, as the acidity may affect your tooth enamel. Acid reflux is very acidic and can be harmful to your mouth and teeth.

Capsaicin, an ingredient found on chili, can lessen the pain you feel if you have a toothache. Otherwise, overeating may cause redness and irritation in your mouth.

Chili powder has some vitamin content that can protect your bones and teeth. It can also help your gum healthier and reduce inflammation. If you plan to eat spicy food, go for chili powder.

Eating spicy food every day may be beneficial for your body, but too much of everything can be harmful. The burning sensation may harm the thin layers of skin on your lips and inside your mouth. It can also cause plaque build-up if the spicy food you’re eating has a dark and robust flavor.

You can still enjoy eating your favorite spicy food; make sure not to overeat it to avoid health problems. Eating spicy food as part of your meal can help boost your immune system, but only eat what your mouth can take.
