Brewed tea prevents tooth erosion
A study on the effects of drinks on teeth has found that brewed tea possesses much less negative erosive properties compared to other soft drinks. According to research published in General Dentistry journal, tea poses virtually no risk to the hard part of teeth, or enamel, whereas refined sugars and acids found in soda and citrus juice promote tooth erosion, which is irreversible. Academy of General Dentistry spokesperson has therefore highly recommended patients to choose tea as an alternative to more erosive drinks like soda and fruit juice.
