Kids! You're rotting your teeth!


We were warned as kids that candy would rot our teeth. What’s rotting kids’ teeth now?

That sports drink is rotting your teeth! Really. That’s the conclusion of a recent study published in “General Dentistry.” Poonam Jain, lead author of the study, says patients are shocked to learn that sports drinks are bathing their teeth with acid. And those popular brands of energy drinks, such as Red Bull and Rockstar – are causing TWICE as much damage to the teeth. 

If your child or teen is complaining of sensitive teeth – eliminate all of those drinks. After just five days of regular exposure to sports or energy drinks, the high levels of acid begin to erode enamel and can start causing irreversible harm.
