There is a life hack, health tip, or bit of advice for virtually every topic\u2014especially oral care. But with so many people sharing their stories, thoughts, and feelings about some of these things, how do you know which ones will safely work and which ones are totally bogus? Keep reading to learn more from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsvilledentalassociates.com\/new-patients.html\">your dentist in Collinsville<\/a> about five of the latest oral health trends that actually spell bad news for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple Cider Vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple cider vinegar touts many healthful benefits such as calming an upset stomach, curing the hiccups, soothing a sore throat, lowering cholesterol, losing weight, and boosting energy. But as tempting as these benefits might be, there are still some oral health risks associated with consuming it including a higher risk of cavities and acid erosion to your teeth. A good way to offset the pH imbalance inside of your mouth that apple cider vinegar causes is to drink a glass of water afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activated Charcoal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many new products these days contain activated charcoal as an ingredient and claim they\u2019re able to fully absorb stains and toxins from your teeth (and despite the pitch-black color of said products). But there hasn\u2019t been enough research done to deduce if this is entirely true. However, one thing that\u2019s been proven is the enamel abrasion that many of these charcoal-containing products can cause to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lemon Juice Detox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People <em>swear <\/em>by the lemon juice detox\u2014this method is supposedly excellent for quickly losing weight. But lemon juice is incredibly acidic, so exposing your teeth to it for days at a time can wreak havoc on your enamel. Plus, skipping meals during cleansing periods means that your mouth isn\u2019t chewing as often and producing less saliva, which can lead to bacteria accumulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kombucha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kombucha has been consumed for centuries for many different purposes. It\u2019s excellent for detoxification. It\u2019s useful for improving digestion and stimulating the body\u2019s immune system. It can even help to prevent arthritis and cancer. But the drink is high in both sugar content and acids, meaning that it can damage your enamel and leave your teeth vulnerable to cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sparkling Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt that sparkling water is better for your teeth than other drinks out there, like soda or coffee. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s entirely risk-free! The beverage is still quite acidic, so it\u2019s best to consume it during a meal so your saliva has a chance to counteract the acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because something is popular doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s good for you! Knowing what trends and fads to avoid and taking proper care of your teeth is the best way to ensure a lasting, healthy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Collinsville Dental Associates proudly serves patients and families in the Collinsville, VA area.
