Frequently Asked Questions
Soft drinks are the number one product that wears away tooth enamel. These drinks contain high levels of phosphoric and citric acids, which soften tooth enamel. Dentists particularly see high levels of tooth decay in people who regularly drink Mountain Dew, and we would strongly caution parents to limit your children’s consumption of these products. Also be watchful of energy drinks, fruit juices, and candy, because they also wash your teeth with high amounts of acid. In fact, according to WebMD, some acids in fruit drinks are more erosive than battery acid.
If you do indulge in a soft drink, energy drink, fruit drink, or candy, be sure to rinse your mouth afterward with a high-quality dental mouthwash, or at least chew a piece of sugar-free, xylitol chewing gum.
