Dentists Warn of Christmas 'Prosecco Smile' and How to Avoid It

Other

I always thought prosecco was a low risk drink concerning health, but apparently the combination of high sugar and fizz is very bad for your teeth

There's even a name for it, the ‘Prosecco Smile’,

You start to notice a white line forming above the gum which is the onset of tooth decay

There is some good news though , you can do certain things to avoid the decay while still enjoying the tipple

You can swig your mouth with water after each gulp to remove the acid, eat food with the prosecco , cheese is good apparently, or drink it with a straw

All i can say is 'cheers' and hopefully keep smiling 😬

telmel ...

I just have it with mostly Lemonade, just like a refreshing drink rather than to get drunk as I'm not a big drinker.

I might have one at night at home when not on duty at work..
