The Effects of Soda On Your Teeth
Posted on 12/19/2022 by Joseph Kabaklian DDS
The Effects of Soda On Your TeethWe all know that soda is harmful to the teeth, but given the consumption levels of soft drinks all over the world, it seems as if many people aren't fully aware of the extent to which it can harm the teeth.

It is no longer an occasional treat but has become an essential part of most people's diets. However, the truth is that soda greatly damages the teeth, and if the effects are left untreated, it can even lead to tooth loss.

Take a look at two of the most harmful effects of soda on the teeth.

The Sugar In Soda Is Food for Bacteria


Our teeth and gums have a sticky layer of bacteria called plaque. Sodas generally contain large amounts of sugar that basically serve as food for the bacteria on the teeth. When bacteria feed off of the sugar, it produces acids that attack the enamel and can possibly lead to tooth decay if you consume a lot of soda.

Acids In Soda Erode the Dental Enamel


There are many sodas that contain acids such as citric acid and phosphoric acid. These acids are extremely harmful to the teeth as they can soften the dental enamel, thereby increasing the risk of tooth decay and tooth loss. If you continue to consume sodas, the inner layers of the teeth become highly exposed to these acids that can result in tooth pain and sensitivity.

If you drink consume soda regularly, you must get your teeth examined and treated to prevent possible dental diseases. Consult us at Enamel General and Cosmetic Dentistry where Dr. Kabaklian and will examine your teeth and suggest possible prevention and treatment methods or approaches for your teeth.
