The dentist said drinking herbal tea can cause damage the teeth. Researchers at Bristol University Dental School said herbal tea can erode tooth enamel or outer layer of teeth. In fact there are several types of herbal tea more harmful to teeth than drinking orange juice that is very acidic and can damage the teeth.

The researchers said this invention can be used as a warning to individuals who regard herbal tea as an alternative other than health drinks.

Danger acid as written in the Journal of Dentistry, the researchers stated: “Many experts conduct epidemiological studies on tea consumption frequencies are on the young and old people.”

“One of the factors that trigger the emergence of these disorders is the consumption of herbal tea that is always assumed as a healthy alternative drinks than other types of beverages.”

The researchers have measured the acidity of the average of the various types of herbal tea and find a different acidity levels in any type of herbal tea is. Tea contains several levels of the relatively low pH which means that the tea is acidic and tends to damage the teeth.

While tea that high pH is likely to contain alkaline and not dangerous for healthy teeth. But of all the studies the researchers said that many herbal teas that can damage the email or outer protective layer of the tooth. Even some kinds of tea have a bad effect three times higher than orange juice.

“A lot of herbal tea in the study tends to destroy more tooth decay than orange juice,” said a researcher.

The dentist suggested that reduce the consumption of excessive fruit juice because the sugar content in juice can erode tooth enamel.

The researchers recommend that dentists who treat patients with eroded teeth emails to avoid excessive consumption of herbal tea. “This information is very useful for the paramedics who treated patients with problems that erode tooth enamel,” said the researchers.

However, the reality is contrary to the statement of herbal tea manufacturer in the UK who rejected the claim of the researchers. One source of this herbal tea manufacturer tells us: “State that eating fruit tea may damage teeth as well as the claim that eating an orange can damage the teeth – a suggestion that we all know is not true.

“In fact, herbal tea and fruit proved to be very nutritious and has many benefits for the body.” He said, “We believe that the consumers do not need to worry, because if we consume them in the normal levels, we do not need to worry because the acid that is attached to the teeth will be neutralized by saliva in the mouth.”
