Sports Drink Can Cause Damage to Teeth

Often when we are active we may turn to sports drinks to quench our thirst. However, they may cause serious damage to the enamel on our teeth. In a news release by New York Univeristy it have been assserted that sports drinks may not be good for our teeth at all. They contain high levels of citric acid that cause tooth erosion. Sports drinks may also possibly trigger conditions leading to severe tooth damage and loss. These findings are being presented at the International Association for Dental Research in Miami. People who use sports energy drinks for energy should not brush their teeth immediately after drinking the beverages. Softened enamel is highly susceptible to the abrasive properties of toothpaste. Due to this recent development we do not have to stop consuming sports drinks at all, but do so in moderation.
