Sipping Water Damages Teeth

[dilettante]

Actually liquids in general.

Interesting. Has anyone heard about saliva management and teeth before?

I'm a gulper more than a sipper.

This was a surprise to me!!

Groan..................

This comes under the heading of breathing is bad for you........!

Pure Spring / Mineral water from wells does not protect your teeth form cavities.

Lol, another example of what-not-to-believe, from Youtube videos!

If you live long enough, you will eventually learn that everything damages something.

I guess using a water pick for long periods of time would be a no no.

True - and if you look on Youtube you can find a video to support anything and everything

Only if you chip your teeth on the rim of the glass or bottle.

I’m a gulper too.
Whew! I’m safe.
Actually I really can’t take this thread seriously.

So true! Oxygen is damaging, using a body part wears it out, not using a body part causes it to disintegrate, gravity crushes us, no-gravity causes bone loss -- we just can't win.

Pure spring or mineral water from wells doesn't protect your teeth from cavities. It lacks fluoride, which is essential for strengthening enamel and preventing decay.

 

[WhatInThe]

Dry mouth not good for teeth either.

If you're suggesting that Dr. Ellie isn't to be believed, I'd have to respectfully disagree with you Nathan. I've been following her protocol for about 8 months and I'm thrilled I found her. My whole family has poor quality teeth and I grind and the result was a lot of gum loss. But after 8 months, I actually am getting some regrowth on those teeth that were showing 'root' and getting tighter gums with the dreaded 'pockets' disappearing. And I had a lot of generalized mouth discomfort because of the grinding, rocking molars and inflammation. Even the molars have tightened up!

It's a combination of gum massage, getting rid of the gum disease by using Listerine Cool to kill the bacteria and using separate morning/night time toothbrushes. I'm so glad I saw her videos because I'd actually been watching videos about dentures and the pros and cons. That's probably why her videos started appearing.

I sip liquids if they are hot, otherwise, I just drink.

But I wasn't suggesting anything about Dr. Ellie, never heard of her.

Youtube has some wonderfully informative videos, and some wonderfully misleading videos...being my only point.

And then i'd be more concerned with swallowing the pieces of glass who were "chipped" from the glass or bottle.

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood the point you were making. And you are right, some great educational videos and then some that nobody should be seeing.
