As Dentists we always worry about sugars causing decay, in this article we can see how Dentists also worry about acid in food and drinks eroding teeth

As an aside I also worry about well meaning overzealous tooth brushing, something I have personally fallen victim to. If your toothbrush is wearing out very quickly and not lasting as long as your partners (as is my case) you are probably using too much pressure. It may not feel as effective as giving them a good scrub but we should brush gently and gentle brushing is enough to keep the teeth clean.

Fresh unsweetened fruit juice contains free sugars because the juicing process releases the fructose, sucrose and glucose from the whole fruit. The free sugars of unsweetened fruit juice may amount to as much as a standard soft drink, therefore it is potentially cariogenic. Frequent exposure to the sugars and acids present when fruit is juiced can lead to tooth decay and dental erosion. Despite this, fruit and vegetable juice contains beneficial vitamins and minerals and current guidance recommends one glass (150 ml) of unsweetened fruit or vegetable juice per day as part of your ‘5 A Day’.
