Drinking Coffee Good for Dental Health

The benefits of drinking coffee for oral health is still debated. Many studies suggest that drinking coffee can only make your teeth color becomes dull or yellow. Tooth discoloration was due to the caffeine content of coffee attached to the outer layer of the tooth.

However, another study from Boston University found that drinking coffee can be beneficial to dental health. According to this study, drinking coffee can actually help protect you from periodontal disease such as inflammation of the gums and jaw bone.

Based on the results of a survey of 1,000 men aged up to 30 years, researchers found that people who drank one or more cups of coffee each day, much less susceptible to interference in the teeth, such as periodontal disease.

Periodontal is a network that connects between the teeth and bone supporting the teeth. The disease is caused by an infection caused by bacteria on the teeth. This disease causes the teeth to shake or not strong. Then your result in tooth loss.

The researchers found that drinking coffee can stop the development of bacteria-accumulate in the teeth. They believe, the content of antioxidants in coffee may prevent the buildup of plaque on the tooth surface.

"Coffee can turn off the inflammatory process in the body that normally would be harmful to the gums and jaw bone teeth," said study author, Raul Garcia.

Drinking coffee is still going to make the color of your teeth dull. However, according to Gracia, you do not need to worry simply because it is. According to him, the acid levels in coffee are less than many other beverages such as fruit juices, sodas, and energy drinks. According to a study by the British Journal of Nutrition, all drinks that contain acid that can erode the enamel that protects the teeth.
