Coffee and Tea Effects on Teeth. Coffee and tea are especially tough on teeth, because tannic acid scrapes into the pits and grooves of tooth enamel and can stain teeth. The amount of coffee a person consumes daily does affect the color of their teeth.
Alcohol Abuse Doesnât Just Mean More Cavities. Pure alcohol on its own will not damage oneâs teeth. However, most people donât drink pure alcohol. Beer, liquor and mixed drinks have high sugar content and high acidity, breaking down the enamel that protects your teeth. This can lead to cavities, long term tooth decay and increase the risk of periodontal disease. People that suffer from alcohol abuse may also forget to brush their teeth. While once in a while forgetting to brush isnât the end of the world, poor dental hygiene can have long-term repercussions.
