Trying To Give Up Coffee - Like Me?


You bet I'm trying to give up coffee and I've gone about 1 1/2 weeks without it.    Looks like I motivated myself partially with this post on coffee. 

The other part of the motivation came from an upcoming dental appointment.  I wanted to give my teeth a chance to heal any holes (beginning of cavities) that might have been brewing.  


You don't want to give a dentist the excuse to drill and fill.  Some will not do so easily, but others will!  (That's a tip regarding how to find a good dentist -btw). 

So, anyway, I must of had enough time to reverse any acid damage that had been occurring, because I didn't have any cavities on this recent trip.

I think a lot of that also has to do with the Hydro Floss which I use daily and does a lot to reduce the amount of plaque and tartar buildup between dental cleanings.

I know that coffee is a mainstream drink and some people drink it all day long.   For this reason, I suggest balancing your mouth pH after drinking every cup!

Dental health is elusive for a lot of people.  Acid helps cavities, bad breath and gum disease develop. 

The strange aspect of this is that the 'bad' bacteria love acid.  It also ends up being a byproduct of their anaerobic metabolism.   That's a fancy way of saying their waste is acidic.   The bacteria that use aerobic metabolism are usually not harmful to our dental health.  

Since increasing the acid levels (and decreasing) pH helps that bad bacteria multiply more rapidly, it follows that raising the pH would be something they would not like. 

Not many mouthwashes are pH balanced but this one is.
