Soft drinks and sports drinks are quickly becoming one of the worst sources of tooth decay in America. Regardless of how old you are, the acidic properties in these drinks can wreak havoc on your teeth. The sugary byproducts work to soften the enamel on your teeth, thus causing cavities to form. In an extreme case, the softened enamel and poor oral hygiene can end up causing you to lose your teeth.
Did you realize that sugar-free drinks are only consumed 14 percent of the time? Why wouldn’t someone want to drink something that is less harmful to their teeth? Sure, the sugary drinks might taste good, but they are working hard to destroy your teeth. Any drink beyond water is going to cause problems for your teeth, some are just worse than others at it.
It seems as if more and more people are drinking these sugary drinks, especially teenagers and children. Even though health professionals continue to warn people of the dangers in these drinks, people consume them one after another. To make matters worse, a number of people fail to go to their Westland, Michigan dentist and get a regular checkup and cleaning.
Did you realize that one out of every two children are consuming a soft drink every single day? Not to mention, one out of every five children is consuming at least four servings of sugary drinks in a day. Some teens are consuming 12 sugary drinks in a single day. Think about all of the sugar sitting on your teeth.
