  1. Agreed kombucha is a pretty healhty beverage, it also doesn't hurt to brush your teeth after drinking it if you are concerned.


  2. NO.  Kombucha promotes good bacterial growth in the intestines and supports good digestion in general.  Bad digestion supports you getting cavities and plaque build up on your teeth.  In fact, if you have adequate stomach acid to digest all your food you eat, you will not get plaque build up.  Primitive man did not get cavities or plaque build up.  

    Adequate minerals in the body is what will support the enamel on your teeth.  Fluoride depletes the body of iodine and makes teeth brittle.  Iodine is responsible for making up the T3 and T4 thyroid hormones.  A low stomach pH due to eating processed foods, cooked foods, and aging all contribute to this reduction of stomach acid.  This, in turn, will prevent calcium from being absorbed.  Taking any antacids will cause calcium to not be absorbed.  This is a much greater problem for the enamel than most any food you eat.  Swimming in a swimming pool or hot tub will get rid of enamel.  People on swim teams in school will find that their biggest issue is losing their enamel rather than losing a race.  Fluorine, Chlorine, and Bromine (to a lesser extent) will cause you to lose enamel from the inside out.

    good luck
