Just realized my 4pm pour over habit got a warning from my dentist
Had a chat with my dentist yesterday in Austin who said my enamel wear pattern matches someone sipping acid for hours, and that made me rethink the 3 cups of dark roast I nurse from 2 to 6 every day, so has anyone else gotten a health scare that made them switch to cold brew or shorter sips?

My dentist said the same thing last year, so I switched to drinking my coffee through a straw for a while. Turns out that just makes you look insane at work and doesn't help that much because the acid still sits on your back teeth. What actually helped me was cutting my coffee with a little bit of warm water and drinking it faster, like 20 minutes tops instead of nursing it all afternoon. Also, I rinse with plain water right after the last sip, and my last checkup showed way less wear. That 2 hour window of sipping is the real killer, not the coffee itself.
