My daughter who is eleven only wants to drink carbonated diet caffeine free Coke with Splenda 24/7 and I worry about her teeth!. Is the carbonation bad for her teeth!? Why or why not!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes, it is bad!. Soda is acidic on the teeth (regardless of sugar content)!. It will attack and wear away on enamel until the child has sensitive teeth and is more susceptible to decay!. Sipping on it all day is bad because her teeth are under acid attack the whole time!. Maybe allow her to drink a class only at dinner, and then during the day give her water (or plain milk)!.

Fruit juice is naturally acidic too, so only give that to her at mealtimes or get her to eat whole fruits!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

YES!.

carbonated drinks are bad for teeth!. period!.

regardless if it's sugarfree or otherwise!.

carbonated drinks are acidic in nature, it will cause teeth to lose it's mineral content such as calcium and phosphate that makes teeth hard and strong!. with weakened toothstructure it is no longer stong enough for daily chewing and is very prone to decay!. not before long, extensive amount of dental cavity might results!.

it is very devastating to the dentition as no restoration is comparable to natural tooth structures!.

please advice her to take water!. confine those sweet treats to mealtimes!. get her to see a dentist and maybe the dentist can convince her to change!.

all the best!. :DWww@Answer-Health@Com
