Warning: Energy Drinks Affect Your Child's Oral Health!
All energy drinks, even the sugar-free ones, contain an incredibly low pH level, which means they are highly acidic, almost as acidic as battery acid. That softens the tooth enamel, leaving your child's teeth highly vulnerable to decay, cavities, and even tooth rot.
Sugar: Constant exposure to sugar in energy drinks provides cavity-causing bacteria with an abundant food source. As they feast, bacteria produce acids that attack and weaken the tooth enamel's outermost layer. That is the first stage in cavity development, which, if left untreated, can continue to progress.
Don't let your teeth get wings.
