We’re committed to providing oral health and wellness tips for parents. Dental Care Today PC – E. Dale Behner DDS in Fishers advises our patient’s parents about healthy habits during every dental visit. We are seeing more and more teens and tweens with tooth enamel erosion caused by repeated consumption of sports drinks.
Most of these kids take good care of their teeth, brush and floss, and come into Dental Care Today PC – E. Dale Behner DDS for a twice-yearly exam and cleaning.
But guess what? If you drink energy drinks or other sugary beverages regularly, your enamel can weaken and you can be more prone to cavities.
Drinks like Red Bull, Rock Star, and Monster are a cocktail of powerful acids and other enamel-eroding substances. Most of them contain citric acid, fruit juices, loads of sugar, and a potent chemical that gives them their bright fluorescent color. By drinking them, you’re just bathing your teeth in acid and sugar. And who would take that kind of bath?
Water is best for your teeth.
