Aside from being an antioxidant and stress-reliever, tea has other numerous health benefits. For instance, popular movie personalities endorse herbal slimming teas, you’d think they’re taking the best diet pills with their slender figures. Also, studies in Japan have shown that drinking green tea may improve dental health particularly reducing the risk of periodontal disease. This is because the catechins in green tea reduce the action of oral bacteria which is known to develop said dental disease, thus aiding in tooth retention.

I have read an article discouraging drinking tea and coffee as they can discolor your pearly whites, even suggesting using a straw if you really want to drink these beverages. Those who just had their teeth whitened are advised not to drink these types of beverages for at least a week. But one dentist discourages having the teeth whitened, saying “yellowish” teeth means healthy teeth. Hmmm…what can you say about this?
