Smoothies could cause tooth decay epidemic say dentists
May 20th 2008
Dr Nigel Carter, the chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation has warned that the popularity of fruit smoothies is a concern because of their high sugar and acid content.
A survey released by the BDA and Oral B to mark National Smile Month found that almost a third of people believe fruit smoothies are good for the teeth.
Ideally teeth should be brushed before and not after drinking fruit juice.
