Hana SAYS!
"Nutritional Research" study tested effects of multiple red and white wines on teeth and found that wine eroded the enamel of the teeth. Wines are highly acidic which lead to dental erosion. Surprisingly, white wine is more damaging than red and Riesling is the the most acidic of the wines tested in the study.
Avoiding wine will help reduce damage to your teeth, but there are ways to minimize the damage without giving up your favourite wine. Brush your teeth before dinner and putting on some lip gloss with a petroleum base creates a barrier between your lips and wines tannins. Eating cheese can also help. Cheese is rich in calcium which neutralizes saliva and combats acid damage from wine.
So go ahead have some wine with that cheese :)
