Drinking tea may be a good way to protect your teeth, according to a recent study by scientists in the U.S. and U.K.

According to a recent study by scientists in the U.S. and U.K.

Drinking tea may be a good way to protect your teeth.

A team of researchers from the University of Illinois Department of Dentistry in the United States chose black tea, which is more commonly drunk by Westerners, for their experiment. They allowed volunteer subjects to rinse their mouths with black tea for 30 seconds every three minutes, and after repeating the process five times, plaque bacteria stopped secreting acids that erode teeth and cause cavities.

And the British Dental Association believes that both black and green tea are helpful in removing or inhibiting plaque. A spokesman for the society said the dental community believes tea can be used as a substitute for sodas because it does not erode teeth. The spokesman said that the occurrence of dental caries is related to the phenomenon of acid dissolving the calcium salts of the teeth, and after the teeth are attacked by acid, the enamel part of the teeth gradually dissolves and thins. When the enamel is completely eroded and the dentin and pulp underneath the tooth are exposed, the patient will feel severe pain. But the spokesman said that the role of tea in protecting teeth has yet to be further verified, because drinking tea and clinical trials are not exactly the same thing after all.
