Want to save those pearly whites? Then drink tea. Want those whites to really shine? Then drink green tea. In a study published in General Dentistry, tests were conducted to see what erosive effects certain beverages had on teeth. Of the beverages tested, orange juice, soda and tea were chosen. In an article published in sciencedaily.com, the results of the study showed that " ... some citric acids found in fruit drinks are more erosive than hydrochloric or sulfuric acid—which is also known as battery acid," whereas, brewed tea, especially green tea, has the same effects as water: none. The positive attributes of green tea reach far beyond oral health. It is also associated with preventing food poisoning, reducing one's risk of cancer and lowering both high blood pressure and blood sugar, among many other things. Tooth erosion breaks down the protective covering of teeth, enamel, irrevocably. Therefore, researchers are encouraging the public to supplant tea in the place of other beverages, although it should be known that additives, such as sugar, milk and lemon, mitigate green tea's powerful attributes. So rather than spending a whole wad of cash for the latest veneers, it's much easier--and healthier--to pour a fresh cup of tea in your favorite cup. Want to save those pearly whites? Then drink tea.

Or you could eat a lump of cheese afterwards. Studies have proven than eating cheese after drinking an acidic drink considerably lowers the acidity levels in the mouth.
