THE EFFECT OF ENERGY DRINKS ON DEVELOPING TEETH
Keywords:
energy drinks, developing teeth, enamel erosionAbstract
This article comprehensively explores the negative effects of energy drinks on developing teeth. The acidic content and high sugar levels in energy drinks can lead to enamel erosion, weakening of the dentin structure, and disruption of the mineralization process. Since developing teeth are more sensitive to acidic and sugary environments, children and adolescents are at greater risk for dental health issues. The article emphasizes preventive measures, such as limiting energy drink consumption, maintaining regular dental care, and adopting good oral hygiene habits.
