CARBONATED DRINKS AND YOUR TEETH

 Carbonated drinks such as soft drinks (soda pop), sparkling water, carbonated wines, and energy drinks are prepared by incorporating carbon dioxide (as dry ice or liquid) into the liquids. 

The addition of carbon dioxide into the water or watery liquid creates a chemical (carbonic acid) that makes the drink fizzy. It also imparts an acidic flavor and sweet sensation to your mouth.This acidic flavour will cause damage to your teeth.


 The high concentration of sugars and acids in soda is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart diseases. They are also known to damage teeth and cause tooth decay

MAJOR SIDE EFFECT OF CARBONATED DRINKS ON DENTAL HEALTH;

TOOTH EROSION: The higher acidic content in the drinks tends to dissolve the outer surface of enamel causing tooth erosion. This can lead to sensitivity or pain in the tooth. 


TOOTH DECAY:The sugar content in carbonated drinks or soft drinks interacts with the bacteria in the mouth to form an acid. This acid in addition to the acids present in the drinks, dissolves the outer enamel and weakens the tooth surface, causing tooth decay.


How to manage the major side` effects of carbonated drinks on teeth?

Here are some of the commonly-recommended treatment options:

  • Mild sensitivity can be managed with a desensitizing paste. In case of hypersensitivity, dentists may treat the eroded areas with tooth-colored resin fillings.
  • In severe cases, root canal treatment followed by crown may be advised by the dentist.
How to reduce the risk caused;
  • Reduce the consumption of carbonated drinks.
  • Sucking on a bottle or sippy cup filled with these drinks promotes tooth decay.
  • Use a straw to help keep sugar away from your teeth while drinking.
  • Choose fluoridated water instead of fizzy drinks.
  • Avoid drinking soft drinks and fruit juice before bedtime.
  • Avoid brushing of teeth immediately after having these drinks[Wait for minimum 30-60 minutes]
  • Rinse your mouth with water after the intake of these drinks.
  • Get regular dental check-ups and cleaning.

Dental implant as a treatment option in this COVID era

                    Dentistry is worst affected considering the prevalence  of aerosols associated with most dental procedures. The  dental clinics in India and many countries around the  world have closed and only emergency and urgent cares are  being delivered at dedicated centers. So now the query rises, Should we deny right dental  treatment if due care is taken while rendering it?  Is implant  treatment going to be a distant dream for practitioners and  the rightful recipients? Dental implant therapy is similar to any other dental  procedure and can be effectively done as it: • Has a high success and survival rate • Is performed as an outpatient procedure • Is still manageable in the clinics for most complications • Will only see a reasonable raise in cost of the procedures  as compared to raise in other dental procedures. The following aspects are encouraging for the delivery...
