We tend to watch which drinks pass our lips based on how\nthey will affect our waistlines. But not many people pay attention to how\ncertain beverages impact our teeth. Unfortunately, there are a lot of drinks\nout there that seem healthy at first glance, but can damage your pearly whites.\nHowever, a dentist<\/a>\nin Springfield is here to set the record straight and talk about how eight\npopular beverages can help or hurt your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Wine <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve probably heard that red wine can stain your pearly\nwhites, but white wine is actually no better for your dental health. White wine\nis actually more acidic, meaning it can more easily destroy your enamel and\nleave your teeth susceptible to staining and sensitivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Fruit Juice <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most fruit juices are highly concentrated, meaning they\nexpose you to much more acid than if you were to eat the fruit in its natural\nform. To minimize the corrosive effect on your teeth, dilute the fruit juice\nwith 50 percent water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Sparkling Water <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This drink may not seem harmful, but one study out of the University\nof Birmingham showed that sparkling water has a pH of between 2.74 and 3.34. This\ngives sparkling water a higher acidic content than even orange juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Coffee <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A cup of morning joe might be staining your teeth, but one\nstudy from the Journal of Conservative Dentistry suggested that drinking coffee\nwithout any sweeteners might actually prevent cavities from developing. So, if you\u2019re\ngoing to drink coffee, drink it black. To lessen the staining effect, sip the\nbeverage through a straw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Milk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Milk is chock full of proteins and minerals like calcium\nwhich enrich your teeth. They also inhibit the growth and attachment of many bacteria\nin your mouth. Milk is a great way to keep your pearly whites healthy and\nstrong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Soda <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might think that diet soda is better for your teeth than\nits sugary counterpart, but science says otherwise. There is actually no\ndifference in enamel erosion between sugary and sugarless soft drinks. Although,\nscientists have noted that root beer is generally the least harmful of all\nsodas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Tea <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This beverage can have a variety of effects on your teeth,\ndepending on the type of tea you\u2019re drinking. Brewed teas are usually not that\nacidic. Green tea may even promote healthy gums. Iced teas, however, become\nmore acidic and are full of sugar that can cause decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Fruit Punch <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most drinks that are labeled \u201cfruit punch\u201d are not actual\nfruit juice. Instead, they are mostly high fructose corn syrup. The high sugar\ncontent attracts bacteria that cause gum disease and cavities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the damage from acidic drinks can be minimized by using\na straw. This will lessen direct contact with the teeth. Also, you shouldn\u2019t\nbrush your teeth immediately after consuming anything acidic. Always wait at\nleast half an hour, as your enamel has been softened and brushing could do more\nharm than good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
