In the last decade, sports beverages have become
increasingly popular, but they aren't great for your teeth.
"Scientific research has found that the pH levels in
many sports drinks could lead to tooth erosion due to their high concentration
of acidic components, which could wear away at the tooth's enamel," says
David F. Halpern, DMD, FAGD, president of the Academy of General Dentistry.
Additionally, these drinks are often high in sugars that act as
"food" for acid-producing bacteria, which then sneak into the cracks
and crevices in your teeth, causing cavities and tooth decay.
