Teeth vs Soda - What Soda Does to Your Teeth
TEETH VS SODA
What soda does to your teeth
48% of Americans drink soda daily
2.6 glasses/day
That's nearly 45 gallons of soda per year
Soda is the LARGEST dietary source of sugar among children and addolescents
Coca Cola 12 oz can Sugars, total: 39g
Mountain Dew 20 bottle Sugars, total: 77g
BUT IT'S NOT THE SUGAR CONTENT THAT'S BAD FOR YOUR TEETH
DIET SODAS CAN BE JUST AS BAD FOR YOUR TEETH AS REGULAR SODAS
IT'S THE ACIDITY
HIGHLY ACIDIC BEVERAGES DISSOLVE TOOTH ENAMEL AND, OVER TIME, LEAD TO WEAKER, MORE CAVITY-PRONE TEETH.
