Why Sports Drinks Put Teeth At Risk

Allen Park Dental Financing

Many health-conscious people exercise regularly, and some depend on sports drinks for hydration. At Allen Park Dental Care, we advise you to steer away from those beverages.

While it’s true that they help preserve electrolyte levels in the body (and pose fewer health risks than energy drinks), their acidity can erode tooth enamel. And when tooth enamel is weakened, those pearly whites are more vulnerable to staining, discoloration, and decay.

Nobody wants discolored teeth, so next time you’re at the gym, try substituting water for sports drinks.

If you have already noticed staining or tooth discoloration and would like to know what you can do about it, give us a call. Cosmetic dentistry procedures from Allen Park Dental Care, like teeth whitening, can turn it around. Schedule an appointment today.
