Apple cider vinegar risks

Some folks claim apple cider vinegar helps digestion, reduces cholesterol and works wonders for constipation.

However for those with worn enamel, gum recession and exposed roots, acetic acid in vinegar can cause acid erosion, making the teeth quite sensitive.

Treat it as you would with any acidic drink:

• Rinse your mouth well with water
• Delay brushing for at least ½ hour
• Lightly apply a finger smear of fluoride toothpaste to harden enamel
