WEST COVINA, Calif.,
May 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- An April 23 article on
Salon detailed yet another health fad that may not be as promising
as its marketing suggests: kombucha, a popular tea-based fermented
drink. The drink is said to aid in a variety of health-related
areas including digestion, inflammation, and stress management;
however, whether these claims are scientifically sound are
presently debatable. Moreover, the article explains that there is
one extremely clear effect of consuming most commercially available
kombucha beverages – the high sugar content and acid they contain
can definitely damage teeth if they are consumed excessively. A-Z
Dental Care says that, while kombucha tea may perhaps have some
health benefits, the popular drinks made from it are probably just
as problematic for teeth as sugary sodas and energy drinks.
The clinic says that when someone drinks a sugary, often
carbonated, and acidic drink like kombucha, it creates a hospitable
environment for harmful bacteria in the mouth. It adds that these
bacteria then produce waste products that are harmful to teeth
enamel. The clinic says that this phenomenon can lead to a variety
of problems including cavities and tooth decay; if the problems are
then left unattended, the results can be a great deal more serious,
the clinic warns. A-Z Dental Care adds that damage to the tooth's
enamel can be mitigated by drinking fewer sugary or acidic drinks
overall (including fruit juice), following up any such drink with
water and by regular brushing – but not before waiting at least 30
minutes to give teeth enamel time to re-mineralize.
In the event that someone has consumed a great many of these
drinks and is concerned about damage or staining, the clinic
recommends visiting a dental professional to discuss treatment
options. Cavities tend to be the most common ailments that result
from too much sugar, but luckily the clinic adds that these are
among the most routine conditions to treat – but the important
thing is to ensure that they are, in fact, treated. Generally
speaking, A-Z Dental Care says that it encourages patients to visit
their dentist regularly. While it may be tempting to skip that next
dental visit, the clinic says that doing so could let a potentially
minor problem spiral into something more serious.
