Apple juice contains many sugars and acids. Apples do too, but when you eat an apple, the water and fibers inside of it wash away the acid and sugars. Juice doesn't have fibers or water, it can weaken and erode the enamel.It has been found that orange juice decreases hardness and increases roughness of enamel... Enamel hardness was decreased by 84 percent. That's right. It was literally washed away.
It is important to understand that there are a lot of acids in fruit juices, sodas, energy and sport drinks. It is very important on how the drink is drunk, if you slowly sip it through 20 minutes, you are way more likely to have tooth erosion, than someone who drinks it in a few minutes.
Just a small sip leaves your teeth getting attacked by sugars and acids for twenty minutes.

thanks for the tip, at the end the better is forgot about prefabricated drinks and make it by your own with fresh fruit if you have the time to spend
Never been a fan of orange juice in the first place, this is just another reason why.
I guess it's good that I down juice like shots.
Apple juice is all I drink, I'm in trouble now..haha
Will keep this in mind.
I can imagine though, someone drinks orange juice for breakfast and then goes to brush their teeth.
Goodbye enamel.
Damn and I like fruit juice D:
I don't drink juice because of this and the sugar content.
I have heard this! Especially bad to put in a sipper cup or baby bottle.
wow I never thought about the acid on my teeth from juice
Don't tell me that!! :'(
This seems really scary. However that bit of statistic, where did you pull it from?
Wow, is that true? o.O
+follwing!
thank u for the tip!
Do you have any links to studies on this. Not that I specifically doubt it, and I have heard the mouth acidity adjusts for 20 minutes after you finish eating. I would just like to see a long term study on the effects on adult and adolescent teeth.

I think the long term effects are pretty obvious, lots of cavities and root canals..
Nice post, had no idea about this.
Orange juice makes me throw up :(
Wow, really? Juice is evil! I really had no idea of this. Thanks.
But it's sooooooo good!
love orange juice!
i drink only juices with no sugar :)
@Laughing Vault Well juices still have natural sugars rather than added sugars like in most.
I had read about this in Men's Health magazines and the more I read about it seemed to make sense. Just drink the one thing your body needs the most, Water!
Snap. :S
but, but I love drinking juice! =/
this is bad news!
How are we meant to enjoy delicious juice now?
Anything with too much sugar is bad for teeth if you have a bad quality of tooth enamel.
Even fructose from fruit and starch from bread.
Sorry to say but toothbrush and lots of patience is the only solution.
never knew this! thanks for sharing.
What about if you drink 'pure apple juice' with the fibre and stuff still in it? Apple juice is so tasty though.
i want more tips :)
thanks for the info! (:
very interesting! I drink a lot of juice too... I've actually always wondered about this but never looked it up
i appreciate the info. i always wondered if juice damaged teeth
that's the reason i don't drink soda or juice anymore.
I enjoyed your post and I was well informed. I love juices too. Big thanks for sharing.
