Do you know what you are drinking?

A recent study found that orange juice markedly decreased the hardness and increased roughness of tooth enamel. “The acid is so strong that the tooth is literally washed away. The orange juice decreased enamel hardness by 84%”, said one researcher.
Weakened and eroded enamel may speed up tooth wear and increase the risk for decay to quickly develop and spread. Most soft drinks and fruit juices are acid and can potentially cause significant erosion of teeth. You can lessen the erosive effects by drinking or rinsing with water after consuming soft drinks or juices to lower the acid concentration in the mouth. Maintain good oral hygiene and see the dentist regularly.
