On the other hand, when it comes to your oral health, juicing has both upsides and downsides. While juicing is generally healthy for your mouth, it has also a direct effect on your dental health, especially on your teeth.
Fresh juices are acidic in nature. Acid is known to damage teeth and gums.
That’s why dental professionals recommend limiting the consumption of acidic
foods and beverages such as sodas, energy drinks and fruit juices.
Unlike commercial fruit juices that are more acidic and have high sugar content, fresh juices contain less acid content and are a far better option than concentrated juices. As long as the fresh juice you consume contains more green leafy vegetables and fewer fruits, the acid content should be low enough to avoid causing any damage to your teeth.
Adding more green vegetables to your healthy juice drink is highly beneficial to your teeth because of the amazing amount of vitamins and minerals they contain. Green leafy vegetables also help prevent dental damage so make sure that they make up the bulk of your juice.
