Believe it or not, sugar isnāt the only factor to consider when it comes to cavity prevention š
Cavities are just as much connected to acidity as they are to sugar, and one of the BIGGEST culprits is carbonated beverages. Soda, sparkling water, energy drinks, flavored fizzy drinks⦠all can be highly acidic, so frequent sipping can repeatedly expose your teeth to a lower pH making you more cavity prone.
Thatās why every new patient exam in our office includes a pH test. It gives us a better look at the environment inside your mouth. From here we can better understand whether acidity could be putting your enamel at risk and determine what we can do to create a healthier oral environment overall. š¦·
