You Can Loss Teeth because of Soft Drinks

Each year Americans drink, on average, nearly 600 cans of soda apiece. What does that do to their teeth? Studies have pointed to soft drinks as being responsible for adult’s and children’s tooth decay and obesity problems. It is a huge problem.

Many sodas contain acids and sugars that could erode tooth enamel over time. But when researchers affiliated with the Academy of General Dentistry placed teeth in a variety of soft drinks, they found root beer products did the least damage.

While sugar in soft drinks is at least partially to blame for tooth decay, there are also other factors. The acidity from certain drinks also plays a role. If mouth acidity increases — and if it happens often enough — the chemical reaction hurts teeth to a greater extent. Over time the result is tooth decay.

Soft drinks, especially light-colored drinks, and canned iced tea appear to “aggressively” harm teeth!
