Soft drinks, juice, and sports drinks, such as Gatorade and Powerade, are detrimental to dental health due to their high sugar content, equivalent to about ten teaspoons of sugar in a single Coke. The pervasive marketing of these drinks leads parents to believe they are healthy choices for their children. Exposure to sugar creates an acidic environment in the mouth that erodes tooth enamel, leading to significant decay. It's important to prioritize water and natural sources of electrolytes, like bananas, over sugary, acidic beverages to protect children's teeth.
Soft drinks, juice, and sports drinks are bad for your teeth. One Coke = 10 literal teaspoons of sugar.
It's the frequency of exposure to refined carbs more than the volume of sugar that causes tooth decay.
