Childrens Teeth and Oolong Tea

For many centuries in China, tea was an ingredient in immortality potions favored by the Taoists. Still today, perhaps as an echo of those beliefs, claims are made that tea drinking helps one to live to a ripe old age.

Tea has been shown to offer protection to our teeth. Tea is a natural source of fluoride, which is known to protect against tooth decay. The fluoride in tea can strengthen bones and help ward off osteoporosis in the same way that it strengthens dental enamel.Oolong Tea promotes good oral health and minimizes the risk of plaque thereby giving you stronger teeth and a brighter smile.

Therefore the health benefits of oolong tea, which is semi-fermented, vary from those offered by black tea with its extensive oxidation process and green tea with its limited processing. There are now numerous research studies that point to the health benefits of oolong tea and regular consumption.

However, even for adults, whose teeth are fully formed, oolong teas fluoride is a great way to protect your teeth. The fluoride found in tea has been shown to inhibit and reduce the growth of glucosyltransferase. This substance helps the plaque that naturally forms to adhere to our teeth. Another study in Japan, specifically the Dentistry Department of Osaka University has found out that regular intake of oolong tea causes the teeth to become strong thereby preventing the decaying of teeth and halting the plaque build-up as well as reducing the growth of glucosyltransferase.
