"White wine rots your teeth...", what's next?

Posted by Cary Feuerman, DMD on October 21, 2009 at 10:00pm


“White wine rots your teeth… and brushing makes it worse,” claimed the Daily Mail today, a British newspaper. This statement was based on a study published in the Journal of Nutrition Research. According to the study, dental erosion from red wine is not as severe. 'The tradition of enjoying different cheeses for dessert or in combination with drinking wine might have a beneficial effect on preventing dental erosion because cheese contains calcium in a high concentration.' The British National Health Service takes issue with the research and findings. What do you think?

    I think the effects of vitamin D, could be beneficial in the prevention of tooth decay when consuming white wine .Studies show that adults should consume 1000mg/day and at age greater than 50 1200mg/day..Check out vitaminDhealth.org. Vitamin D, an essential nutrient found in a limite number of foods, has long been renowned for its role in creating strong bones, which is why its added to milk..So for all you white wine drinkers..don't give it up, just increase your daily intake of Vitamin D.!
