You\u2019ve really tried to take his advice. Instead of having candies, you\u2019d select a healthier snack. But, you can\u2019t seem to kick your addiction to sugary drinks like sodas and energy drinks. Our Dental professionals are here to explain the real dysfunctional relationship sugar has with your teeth and what you can do to avoid your oral health from taking an ugly turn for the worst.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Your Teeth and Sugar Don\u2019t Have a Healthy Relationship!<\/h2>\n<p>After you eat or drink something especially sweet, do you feel a grimy film covering your teeth? Most people can relate to this dirty feeling. Did your past dentist ever explain in-depth how sugars and acid create one of the most toxic combinations for your teeth? This film is a combination of sugars and dental bacteria forming an acidic mixture of plaque and sticking to the crevices of your smile.<\/p>\n<p>Tooth decay occurs when sugar combines with lingering bacteria in your mouth. This produces toxic acid in your mouth. This acid steadily attacks your teeth along with the acid that\u2019s already in the type of drink you\u2019re enjoying. Even \u201cdiet\u201d or \u201csugar-free\u201d drinks still contain acid that can harm your teeth. If you\u2019re constantly attacking your smile with substantial amounts of sugar and acid, you will weaken your tooth enamel and be susceptible to dental problems like cavities and tooth loss.<\/p>\n<h2>Popular Drinks That You Should Avoid<\/h2>\n<p>Your\u00a0Dublin dentist encourages you to eliminate these drinks from your diet altogether for the improvement of your dental health and overall health. If you\u2019re wondering whether you should drink a certain soft drink, refer to this chart to see which drinks are the most dangerous to your teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Sodas<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Coca-Cola\u2014In a serving size of 375ml, there are 40g of sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Sprite\u2014In serving size of 600ml, there are 61g of sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Fanta\u2014In a serving size of 375ml, there are 42g of sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Energy and Sports Drinks<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Red Bull\u2014In a serving of 250ml, there are 27g of sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Gatorade\u2014In a serving of 600ml, there are 36g of sugar.<\/li>\n<li>Powerade\u2014In a serving of 600ml, there are 34g of sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Visit Your Dentist to Prevent Tooth Decay<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best ways to fight tooth decay is scheduling and keeping your regular dental appointments at our\u00a0Dublin dental practice, Distinctive Smiles.
