The consumption of soft drinks and their effect on oral health is a topic that we will discuss today. Over the years,\u00a0the consumption of artificial juices and soft drinks\u00a0has become normalized in the Western world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are soft drinks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Soft drinks are drinks whose components include carbonated water [water that contains\u00a0carbonic acid\u00a0], sweeteners such as\u00a0sucrose, acidulants, and artificial flavors. The carbonated water in soft drinks is a\u00a0mixture of water and carbon dioxide, a practice started by John Matthews<\/a> in 1832 in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0low pH (acid)\u00a0sodas threaten your oral health. Among the different\u00a0types of soft drinks\u00a0we have: Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, Sprite, 7Up, Fanta, and Dr. Pepper, among others. They represent a significant risk\u00a0of erosion for your teeth, which can lead you to need various dental treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The enamel of your teeth, for the most part, is made up of calcium mineral salts, which\u00a0are susceptible to the action of acids\u00a0in your mouth. The point is that an imbalance in your diet, or continuous neglect\u00a0in your oral hygiene habits\u00a0as well as the excessive consumption of soft drinks,\u00a0can make the action of saliva insufficient. One way to introduce this imbalance in your oral health is through\u00a0excessive consumption of soft drinks\u00a0and\/or artificial drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
