The benefits of drinking coffee for oral health is still debated. Many studies suggest, drinking coffee can only make the color of your teeth become dull or yellow. Tooth discoloration was due to the caffeine content of coffee attached to the outer layer of the tooth.

Based on the results of a survey of 1,000 men aged up to 30 years, the researchers found that people who drank one or more cups of coffee per day, less impaired in the teeth, such as periodontal disease.

Periodontal is a network that connects between the tooth and the bone supporting the teeth. The disease is caused by an infection caused by bacteria on the teeth. This disease causes the teeth become loose or not strong. Then result in your tooth loss.

The researchers found that drinking coffee can stop the growth of bacteria-accumulate on the teeth. They believe, the content of antioxidants in coffee may prevent the buildup of plaque on the tooth surface.

"Coffee can be lethal inflammatory processes in the body that normally would be harmful to the gums and jawbone teeth," said the authors of the study, Raul Garcia.

Drinking coffee is still going to make the color of your teeth dull. However, according to Gracia, you do not need to worry just because of that. According to him, the acid levels in the coffee less than many other beverages such as fruit juice, soda, and energy drinks. According to a study by the British Journal of Nutrition, all drinks that contain acids that can erode the enamel that protects the teeth.
