However, the internet is also a place where there are heaps of misinformation. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a helpful hack and something that can actually be quite dangerous. You don\u2019t want to try out a popular trend only to discover that you are harming your smile. Here are some fads that are bad for your teeth so that you know to avoid them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apple Cider Vinegar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are all sorts of different health benefits from consuming apple cider vinegar. Whether you are looking to calm an upset stomach, sooth your sore throat, or lower your cholesterol, there is someone out there claiming that this remedy can help. However, apple cider vinegar isn\u2019t too great for your teeth. Your teeth are vulnerable to acidic substances, and this type of vinegar is so acidic that it can cause your enamel to dissolve, ultimately increasing your risk of developing cavities in the near future. If you are consuming apple cider vinegar, be sure to rinse your mouth with water afterwards to help the pH of your mouth return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lemon Juice Detox<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a popular detox that is used as an effort to lose weight. The recipe includes a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water. Just like apple cider vinegar, this mixture is very acidic, increasing the probability of tooth decay. Another issue is that this 10-day cleanse only includes liquids. Without chewing solid food, you aren\u2019t producing as much saliva. You need to have a significant amount of saliva to fight off cavities, gum disease, and acid erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sparkling Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparkling water has become increasingly popular. While it is a great alternative to drinking soda, it isn\u2019t completely risk-free. Sparking water is acidic, creating a low pH environment in your mouth, both weakening the enamel and making it easier for you to develop cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kombucha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kombucha is a fermented tea that has benefits including detoxification, improved digestion, immune system stimulation, arthritis relief, and cancer prevention. However, kombucha is acidic, and many store-bought brands contain a lot of sugar. This increases your risk for cavities and other oral health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activated Charcoal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many new oral hygiene products contain activated charcoal. The idea behind these products is that they absorb toxins and stains, leading to whiter teeth and healthy gums. However, there is not enough evidence to deem that activated charcoal products are actually effective. These products also tend to be too abrasive for the teeth. This causes the gradual wearing away of the enamel. In the end, they are better avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because a trend is popular doesn\u2019t mean that it is risk-free. By doing your own research beforehand, you can make more informed decisions when it comes to caring for your smile and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myranchobernardodentist.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">preventing oral health issues<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myranchobernardodentist.com\/meet-dr-howard.html\">Dr. Nelson Y.
