Damage caused by Acidic Beverages to the Teeth

Many of us are addicted to cold drinks, tea and coffee; unknowingly we are degrading the oral tooth structure by taking acidic and sugary content in excessive amount in diet. Unaware of the fact, that these drinks weakens the tooth and produces adverse effects.

The drinks we take affect the teeth primarily due to the acidic nature of drinks and sugar content in it. Anything that measure 5.5 or less on the pH scale is considered acidic. Acidic foods and drinks soften tooth enamel, which makes teeth sensitive and vulnerable to damage, such as cavities and tooth erosion.

Potential negative effect on teeth due to acidic beverages: –

  • Dental erosion (erosive tooth wear): – It is the situation of a chronic loss of dental hard tissue that is chemically etched away from the tooth surface by acidic drinks without bacterial involvement.
  • Bad Breath: – Firstly, increased amount of acidic intake lead to increased bacterial activity around teeth and gums and enhances the decaying of tooth. Secondly, it decreases the salivation and ultimately increasing the dryness of mouth
  • Tooth decay: – Sugary food and acidic drinks de-mineralizes the tooth structure due its stickiness and reducing the pH of saliva, increases the bacterial activity and decays the tooth structure.
  • Stains: – The acidic drinks like tea, coffee and wine etc, stains the tooth structure.Young beautiful woman with long blonde curly hair and green eyes,beautiful smile, spends time alone in the city Park in the summer, posing for the photographer on the background of green plants in a Sunny day
