\"Lemon<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to see that two of the Internet\u2019s favorite topics are beauty and health. Many blogs and social media posts focus on fad diets, new exercise methods, health-boosting products, and more. However, did you know this coverage includes popular trends that are bad for your teeth? Often without knowing it, some people sacrifice their smiles<\/a> in the quest for a better body. To keep that from happening to you, avoid these three trendy things in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Apple Cider Vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Supporters of apple cider vinegar say it has health benefits\u2014from curing upset stomachs and sore throats to lowering cholesterol and body weight. Unfortunately, drinking it will likely ruin your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that apple cider vinegar has high acidity. Its low pH value allows it to dissolve tooth enamel quickly. As a result, leaving it on your teeth raises your chance of cavities and enamel loss. With time, the vinegar could even erode existing dental work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemon Juice Detox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several lemon juice detoxes, including the Master Cleanse, claim to cleanse the body of toxins and can help you lose twenty pounds in just ten days. All you have to do is drink a \u201clemonade\u201d made of fresh lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, the ingredients for this so-called \u201ccleanse\u201d are awful for oral health. Lemon juice is a powerful acid, and maple syrup is very sugary. Therefore, this mixture would expose your enamel to acids from both the drink and sugar-consuming bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even worse, the cleanse requires a liquid-only diet. That means you wouldn\u2019t do any chewing, something that helps produce bacteria-fighting saliva. Consequently, your teeth would be even more vulnerable to the lemon juice\u2019s acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sparkling Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At least at first glance, you might not think sparkling water is an issue. It\u2019s water, after all! While it might have some bubbles, it doesn\u2019t have the chemicals found in stuff like soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those bubbles, though, are the problem. Like soft drinks, sparkling water is carbonated and thus has carbonic acid. This acid, as you might imagine by now, erodes enamel and causes tooth decay. The effects get even stronger if the water\u2019s been flavored, meaning there\u2019s citric acid in it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let body improvements come at the cost of your smile. Instead, try alternatives to the above trends that\u2019ll strengthen your teeth along with the rest of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
