As we all know that sugar is not good for the overall health, and it is certainly not good for the teeth. Various drinks are the major culprit for tooth enamel damage, and a new research suggests that these drinks are also bearing the fault for the tooth caries in children.

1. Is Energy and Sports Drinks good for the Teeth?
As we all know that sugar is not good for the overall health, and it is certainly not good for
the teeth. Various drinks are the major culprit for tooth enamel damage, and a new research
suggests that these drinks are also bearing the fault for the tooth caries in children.
The results of the research have been published in the Journal of General Dentistry, by
consuming energy or sports drinks for only as little as 5 days consecutively, the teeth are
already exposed to a high risk of decay and enamel damage. Moreover, the energy drinks
have proved twice as harmful for the teeth as the sports drinks.
Jennifer Bone, who is the spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry says that quite
often, patients come to her office with oral health symptoms such as tooth sensitivity or
tooth decay, and they simply cannot find a reasonable answer for these symptoms.
Certainly the dentists make a thorough review of the patient’s everyday diet or snacking
habits, and of course they ask the patients about what type of drinks they do consume. The
patients are basically stunned to find out that it is the sports drinks or the energy drinks the
ones that cause these symptoms in the first place.

2. Various studies and researches have analyzed many different types of sports drinks and
energy drinks. According to the findings, the sports and the energy drinks from different
brands contain different amounts of acidity levels. The researchers even put tooth enamel
samples into these drinks in order to notice the damage caused by the fizzy beverages. They
allowed these samples to be soaked for about 15 minutes, and then soaked the samples in
artificially created saliva.
After a few days, the researchers could notice quite some damages to the tooth enamel on
the samples. Dentists around the world highly recommend that people who consume such
sports or energy drinks on a regular basis, should always rinse their mouths with water after
drinking.
This way, all those bad sugars which will be later transformed into harmful acids by the
bacteria, will be flushed away and the damages can be thus avoided.
