Nursing a latte for a clock can resulted in damage to teeth, at least according to the Seattle dentist who said he had seen the uptick in cavtities among coffee drinkers.
If Your last trip to the dentist new plants, look no more cavities away from Your coffee cup.
The culprit might be lurking in Your latte, according to the Seattle dental Heidi Hackett, who said the conversation with the patient has led him to believe that the popular drink coffee causes uptick in tooth decay.
"We found that most patients spend hours per day working on the computer and ' Nursing ' latte or coffee with milk," said Hackett. "Constantly exposed to lactose or milk sugar is giving the bacteria in the mouth of a glut of crude fuel or ' food ' for metabolism."
According to Hackett, types of bacteria that are most responsible for tooth decay is Streptococcus mutans, which metabolizes carbohydrates and sugars into acid. The acid then go eat in the enamel of teeth up– voila! -cavity was born.
