Sugary Drinks

Did you know... Sugar (such as those in energy drinks and soft drinks) mixed with the bacteria in your mouth produces acid. This acid attacks your enamel for up to 20 minutes after you take your last sip. When sugar is consumed over and over again, the harmful effect on teeth can be dramatic. And when the tooth decays from this, the enamel does not grow back. The only option once decay occurs is to see your dentist and have the tooth treated.  Make sure to limit sugary drinks and brush, floss, and rinse regularly!
