Carrots are a common raw vegetable on vegetable trays. Strong teeth are needed to eat a full raw carrot. That crunching sound may not be only the carrot breaking between the teeth. Tooth damage is likely if large, raw carrots are eaten. Carrots peeled with a potato peeler are commonly used in raw vegetable salads, stews, or eaten plain. Carrot peelings will snap between the fingers and will help to gently remove food particles from the teeth with less chance of cracking the teeth. They can also be a tasty treat with butter, or a favorite salad dressing covering them.
