There are people who cannot imagine starting their day without a cup of invigorating coffee.

But, as it turns out, you shouldn’t drink this aromatic drink immediately after waking up.

In this case, you can only significantly worsen the condition of your teeth.

This statement was made by dentist Daz Singh, writes the website HuffPost .

He noted that frequent coffee consumption before morning oral hygiene can increase the risk of enamel erosion and stains on teeth.

The specialist explained why this happens.

As Singh explained, caffeine has a low pH and is acidic.

As a result, if you drink coffee first and only then brush your teeth, a reaction will occur that will soften the enamel. As a result, the teeth may decay.

Another reason is that this habit causes plaque and bad breath.
