How Prosecco Can Damage Your Teeth

Prosecco, a white wine, is preferred over red wine due to the low calorific content. As a result, people have been oblivious to the damage the wine causes to teeth.

Key takeaways:

• The odd glassful of Prosecco, a sparkly wine, has been blamed for enamel erosion on the teeth.
• Prosecco is a popular drink among women, but has caused great damage to their teeth even without their knowledge.
• The wine damages teeth through sugar that feeds bacteria in the mouth and through high amounts of carbon dioxide that is highly acidic. Acid causes enamel erosion and weakening of teeth.

And dentists know if the erosion in your mouth is being caused by drinks rather than food because the front teeth – which are in contact with liquid the most – are the first to be affected.
