Health Trends That Really Ruin Teeth

Many people believe apple cider vinegar and juice can make teeth healthy. However, behind these health claims, it turns out there are dangers that are stored. Apple cider vinegar and juice can actually damage teeth, gums and overall oral health. The following is an explanation from Brian Kantor, a cosmetic / beauty dentist at Lowenberg Lituchy & Office, reported by Refinery 29. Apple cider vinegar There are many dental health rumors about apple cider vinegar. However, according to the Office, apple cider vinegar can erode tooth enamel because apple vinegar is acidic.

 Fruit juice
Most dentists may recommend patients to consume juice for dental health. However, according to the Office, basically sugar from juice can erode tooth enamel and eventually cause cavities. Bacteria can also irritate the gums and can eventually cause gum disease. For that, he reminded that brushing your teeth after drinking juice is very important. "If you have to make juice, I recommend drinking from a straw to keep the juice from the tooth surface and brush your teeth at least 45 minutes after drinking," said the Office. According to the Office, cranberry and lime juice can also soften the enamel so that it quickly makes teeth droop. In order for the juice not to damage the enamel, try making it thinner so that the fruit components in the juice are not concentrated when touching the mouth.
 Milk
Many people have switched from animal milk to almonds, coconuts, cashew nuts, or wheat milk. There are several advantages to this alternative milk, especially if you have lactose intolerance or avoid dairy products for ethical reasons. Apart from all that, the Office warned that it was important to choose milk substitute products wisely. According to the Office, unlike ordinary milk, many of the dairy products are sweetened. "So it's important to choose a variety of products that are not sweetened in order to avoid sugar that can eat away your teeth," explained the Office. As Harvard Health reports, calcium is important because it gives strength and shape to teeth. Almonds also have calcium and most non-cow milk contains enriched calcium.
