Recent research has shown that overdoing it have a coffee On a daily basis, it causes erosion of tooth enamel and its sensitivity, as a result of the tannin it contains, as coffee has an “acidic nature” and increases the risk of caries, according to what was published by the British Express website.
For his part, Dr. Payal Bhalla, a dentist, warned coffee drinkers against excessive coffee because of the health consequences it causes, represented in dry mouth, reduced saliva production and a change in the color of the teeth, which increases the risk of tooth decay.
And the doctor continued: “Saliva plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health by neutralizing acids and removing food particles and harmful bacteria. Dry mouth can increase the risk of tooth decay and bad breath.”
And through drinking coffee, there is a long period of time in which the teeth are exposed to tannins, explaining the doctor that “tannins are responsible for the dark color in coffee and can stick to the enamel, which leads to discoloration and stains on the teeth.”
The dentist also added that coffee is acidic, so the longer it is in contact with the teeth, the more the enamel layer is eroded.
While the specialist recommended reducing the time your teeth come into contact with coffee by drinking it more quickly. Rinse your mouth with water after drinking coffee to help neutralize acidity and remove stain compounds. Practice good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
