Dental Opinions, Vinegar is it bad for your teeth
I have been trying to lose weight and eat less fattening foods. However, my friend stated that I should not eat my salad with vinegar. I do not use dressing and I like just vinegar. She says that it will mess up my teeth since I eat too many salads now. I am not sure about this since I seem to recall someone else saying something like that too. I am doing very well with my weight and I am feeling better about myself. I do not want to start having teeth problems now. What do you think?
Reply: Vinegar would act like an acid eating away the enamel on your teeth. That being said, vinegar could only really eat the enamel on your teeth if it is some how left there for long period of time.
Having vinegar on your salad, should not hurt you. I am guessing you do brush you teeth twice a day. But if you are worried you can do two things. One do not use vinegar or two been mindful of your at home dental care habits. Also make sure to see your dentist regularly as that is key in making sure you maintain good dental health.
