Did you know that the power drinks you drink daily can affect you teeth? First of all, there is the high concentration of sugar which everyone knows that can cause tooth decay. The other is that all these drinks are very acidic, any where from 10 to 1000 times more acidic than ones mouth. When one drinks these power drinks constantly, this creates an acidic environment in your mouth that starts bathing the teeth enamel. The acid eats into the teeth. It erodes and softens the teeth structures. Soft teeth is more prone to having cavities and wear. The cost of repair far more exceeds the cost of drinks one ingest.
We routinely check our patients' acidic making sure that the oral chemistry is balance, so to lower the risk of disease.
