Juices, Tea Encourage Enamel Erosion in Teeth

It's no surprise that sugary colas and fizzy, carbonated drinks are bad for your teeth and promote tooth decay, but research recently conducted shows that the drinks that have always been promoted as being a better alternative for your teeth may be causing another problem: erosion. Juices, teas and energy drinks have been shown now to cause erosion of the precious, white enamel on teeth, leading to tooth decay that is more severe than that caused by normal tooth decay from sugar.

The results of tooth erosion is hypersensitivity, discoloration and cracks in teeth which are all irreversible conditions that can only be treated by replacing the tooth with a crown, dentures or dental implants.
