Posts for tag: Soda
Most of us may drink soda, some more than others. Some may drink out of habit, taste, or addicted to caffeine. Whatever the reason may be the worst part about drinking soda regularly is that patient's don’t see the damage that is taking place inside their body.
There are several medical reasons to reduce the quantity of soda you’re consuming. From a dental standpoint, soda can be very damaging to the teeth because of the acids it contains. Acid dissolves the enamel on the teeth. Bacteria convert sugars and starches into acids that cause tooth decay, but the acid in soda and other foods can cause the enamel to simply melt off the teeth. There is no harm in enjoying an occasional soda with a meal, but avoid sipping on soda pop all day long. The long term exposure of the teeth to the acid causes severe damage that is both time-consuming and expensive to repair. For more information or any questions on how Dr. McElhinney can help you with all your dental needs, don’t hesitate to contact his dental staff located in Reno.
