Juices destroy children's teeth

Actively promoted "healthy" juices and smoothies fruit is not so safe for children's teeth, as many parents. Dentists warn that such beverages can not be carried away.

Doctors from the prestigious dental clinics in London that cater to families with large incomes in recent years have increasingly faced with young patients with rotten teeth. Doctors believe that this is due to the belief in parental benefits for all sorts of children's health fruit juices   (as fresh and preserved) and a variety of fruit-based drinks.

Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry of the Royal College of Surgeons Kathryn Harley argues that these drinks have damaging to enamel children's teeth   acidity. At first, under the influence of acid erodes the enamel, then begins to break away, then just tooth decay. Dr. Harley says a whole generation of children who refuse to drink plain water, as they are accustomed to from childhood fruit juices .

"The problem is that these children do not want to drink water, - says a leading British dentist. - They each time wants her saturated fruit taste. My colleagues are faced with parents who say," My child does not drink the water " . But if you teach a baby almost from the first months of life to fruit juices, is then weaned from these drinks will be difficult. "

According to Harley, extreme acidity of juices and fruit-based cocktails represents a significant threat to children's teeth . "Most people understand that sweet bad for teeth, but almost nobody thinks that acidic drinks are no less dangerous" - sadly concludes the doctor. Doctors recommend eating organic fruits and drinks from the priority given to plain water.
