Not As Good As You Think…

Prosecco

A glass of Prosecco contains a relatively low number of calories, but dentists warn that regular drinkers are at risk of ‘Prosecco smile’. Professor Damien Walmsley, scientific adviser for the British Dental Association, says, ‘Prosecco offers a triple whammy of carbonation, sweetness and alcohol, which can lead to sensitivity and enamel erosion.’ But brushing your teeth after you drink it can make things worse. Prosecco is acidic and weakens tooth enamel, so wait a few hours for your enamel to harden before brushing.
