DID YOU KNOW...

Green Tea Dental HealthDid you know that drinking green tea can improve your dental health and lower your risk of developing cavities? Streptococcus mutans is the primary bacteria in the mouth. It causes plaque formation and is a leading contributor to tooth decay. The catechins, powerful antioxidants present in green tea, can inhibit the growth of this bacteria and lower your risk of developing cavities. Another added benefit of green tea? Several studies have shown it can reduce bad breath. So instead of reaching for that cup of Joe for an afternoon pick-me-up, why not sip on green tea and enjoy the dental benefits!
