Brewed Tea for a Healthier Set of Teeth

I must admit I was a fan of sodas when I was younger. Later, I got into fruit juices, but not the good kind. And as I grew older I knew better.

Did you know that citric acids found alongside refined sugar contributes to tooth erosion? Yup, the same stuff found in sodas and fruit juices. It will wear down tooth enamel which when lost, can't be replaced. So what's the alternative?

Brewed tea (not those prepackaged iced teas) is a great substitute if you want a refreshing drink. It comes in many variants so making a choice is not that hard. And let's not forget the health benefits drinking tea provides. If you're more of a fruit type, then go with fresh fruit juice or smoothie. Better yet, try eating the fruit as is. It will provide more nutrients that way.

In any case, avoid sodas and your teeth will thank you for it.
