What About Soft Drink Consumption?

In Dental
  

    


The recent large increase in soft drink consumption in our society has caused a huge increase in tooth decay, especially among young people. Soft drinks in general have approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar per 12 ounce can. They also generally are very acidic. These two factors dissolve tooth enamel very quickly. The dentition of a young person can go from decay free to hopelessly decayed in a matter of a few years. It is an unprecedented public health disaster which was acknowledged by the Surgeon General recently. Because of the marketing efforts of soft drink manufacturers we now have a whole generation of Americans who believe that the only option when thirsty is to reach for a can of pop. So…Please be aware of this and protect your children and yourself. If you or someone you know has a problem with soft drink (or sweetened fruit juice) consumption, we can help with information and strategies to getting unhooked from the soft drink addiction. Reach for a glass of water instead!
