How Acidic Drinks Put Your Teeth At Risk
Dental erosion is a growing concern in developed countries
Moreover, this is often only
detected clinically after extensive tooth wear has
occurred.
Australian kids today are very prone to dental
erosion.
Children and adolescents grind teeth at night and they might have
undiagnosed acid reflux.
New research reveals that highly acidic drink only
takes 30 seconds to cause lifelong
damage on your teeth.
When kids consume this drinks, even if
they rinse their teeth with water
afterwards or brush after an hour,
the damage is already done.
The researchers recognise the importance of drinking fruit juices when it
comes to nutrition.
As such, they suggest that kids should consume fresh fruit juices as these are seen as the healthier
option.
Also experts recommend that a straw should be
used when drinking these
refreshments, so as to minimise the exposure of teeth to acids.
