Green tea contributes to dental health
New research suggests that green tea can improve the health of teeth and gums. The study, carried out on 940 men in Japan, found that people who regularly drank green tea had very healthy teeth and gums, compared to those who did not routinely drink it. According to research, the anti-inflammatory effects of green tea catechins reduce the risk of periodontal disease - less bleeding with probing, decreased depth of periodontal pocket and decreased clinical loss of attachment of tooth to gum.
