Most people know they should drink water to stay hydrated and that milk is a good source of calcium. Less obvious, perhaps, is the effect that many popular drinks have on one\u2019s health, including their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngfamilydentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">oral health<\/a>. In today\u2019s blog post, a dentist in Joplin breaks down how some of the most popular beverages \u2013 from red wine to sparkling water \u2013 can adversely affect your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pumpkin Spice Lattes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">File this one under \u201csad, but true\u201d: the autumn season\u2019s trendiest drink can wreak havoc on your teeth if consumed frequently. While the popular hot beverage is great for keeping you warm during this time of year, it is also loaded with sugar, which can contribute to tooth decay. In fact, according to one newspaper report, a medium pumpkin spice latte from a well-known national chain contains roughly 50 grams of sugar. That is the entire daily limit recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) \u2013 in just one drink! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red Wine vs. White Wine <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner? Then you may be\ninterested to know that red wine is slightly better than white wine for your\nteeth. Although dark red wines can stain teeth over time, white wines are\nactually more acidic and therefore break down tooth enamel faster. When tooth\nenamel wears away, it reveals the inner layer of yellow dentin, causing your\nsmile to appear discolored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One additional tip: when choosing wines, opt for a drier variety.\nDry wines have less sugar than sweet wines and therefore are less likely to\ncontribute to tooth decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sugar-free Sparkling Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sparkling water, an increasingly popular type of carbonated\nbeverage, offers fizzy thirst satisfaction without all the cavity-causing sugar\nof traditional sodas. However, many varieties of sparkling water can also be\nvery acidic, meaning they can wear down tooth enamel. For this reason, the\nAmerican Dental Association recommends swapping sugary soda for sparkling water\n\u2013 but not choosing sparkling water in place of regular, fluoridated tap water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replenishing Sports Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you play recreational sports or frequently exercise at the gym, you may frequently want a sports drink to rehydrate and replenish your electrolytes afterward. While these drinks can be helpful after extreme exertion, be careful not to casually consume them too often. Not only do many popular sports drinks contain elevated levels of sugar, but a recent study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association found that a majority are acidic and \u201chighly erosive\u201d toward teeth. <br> <br>Now that you know more about the effects these popular beverages can have on your smile, you can make more informed decisions about what you consume on a daily basis. Cheers to that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Dan K.
