Apple juice contains more 10 different kinds of acid, which can erode your tooth enamel and add to digestive upset. Malic, quinic, citric, shikimic and fumaric acids are all contained in just one glass of juice. Don't skip the juice altogether; apple juice can complement a healthy diet. Learning the ways to neutralize apple juice can help preserve your teeth while allowing you to reap health and taste benefits from drinking it.
Step 1
Drink your juice with a meal. Saliva flows when anything enters your mouth, but particularly when you are eating. The saliva will combat the acidity in the juice.
Step 2
Drink through a straw. This protects your tooth enamel by redirecting the juice to the back of your mouth, as opposed to flowing over your teeth.
Step 3
Dilute your juice. Diluting the juice will not only cut the acidity down, it will also save you money. Try a mixture of half water with half juice; play with the proportions to please your taste buds.
Step 4
Drink milk after you drink apple juice. Milk will neutralize the acidity in your mouth and digest tract, the 1-800-Dentist website explains.
Step 5
Take a dose of milk of magnesia or a similar over-the-counter acid reducer before drinking apple juice if heartburn occurs with drinking juice.
