Re-Think Your Drink

As a practicing dental hygienist, I have noticed and increase in toothdecay in a few groups.

First, those who regularly drink sports drinks feel that they are actually drinking something healthy and refreshing for the body but, in fact, are dousing their teeth with harmful sugar throughout their gym workouts or tournaments.

Secondly are those young people who have discovered cafe lattes or sugared coffee beverages. Yikes, these drinks can contain 12-15 teaspoons of sugar. Hard to believe but just read the labels on these drinks and you will be shocked.
