Tooth Decay Due to Soda & Sports Drinks

One can of regular pop per day contains the maximum recommended intake of sugar a day!Excessive intake of pop/ sports drinks is detrimental to your health. People who drink 3 or more sugary drinks daily have 62% more dental decay, fillings and tooth loss. Bacteria in the mouth feed on this sugar then spit out acid on the teeth causing decay. Most sports drinks and pop contain citric acid which further damages the teeth. Acids naturally occurring in citrus fruits like lemons can also break down enamel. Dentists consider Mountain Dew to be the worse due to high amounts of sugar and caffine.

If you must consume soda/ sports drinks use these guidelines. Drink quickly, use a straw, don't swish.
Pure, clean water is 100% natural and still the best choice for a healthy mouth and a hydrated body.
