Can Green Tea Fight Cavities?


Studies show that drinking green tea can strengthen your teeth and help fight cavities.  That is if you don't add sugar to your tea. So next time you are ready to drink your green tea, hold off on the sugar to protect your teeth.
On a side note, they have found that coffee does not affect your teeth one way or the other, unless you add sugar to your coffee.  If you add sugar to your coffee, then you are more likely to get cavities and are at risk of losing your teeth.
The take away from these studies, avoid your sugar intake for the benefit of your teeth.
