Betel Nut

Betel nut, although it brings oral stimulation, its damage to teeth is a hidden concern. The alkaline substances and tannins in betel nut are like cunning thieves, quietly eroding the strong defence of the teeth, leading to gradual wear and tear of the surface of the teeth, as if being chewed. Every time you chew, it is as if you are slowly depriving your teeth of their health, making them weak and fragile. The alkaline substance in betel nut is also like a corrosive acid rain, constantly eroding the protective shield of the teeth, making them lose their original strength and lustre, and ultimately exposed to the danger of acid erosion. Moreover, the red juice produced during betel nut chewing is more like a mischief to the aesthetics of the teeth, which stains the teeth with layers of deep red colour, as if an unwashable filth. Therefore, although betel nut brings momentary taste enjoyment, it is also quietly endangering our dental health, always reminding us to be cautious and stay away from this potential oral killer.
