Are Sports Drinks Bad For Teeth?

 

A new study shows that sports and energy drinks contain a high acidity level. The acid eats away at the outer layer of enamel, causing serious, irreversible damage. The damage to the enamel leaves the teeth more prone to cavities.

It is recommended to chew sugar-free gum or rinse your mouth out when finished with a sports or
energy drink. Doing so will help increase saliva, which helps to return the acidity level back to normal.
