Can a energy drink ruin your teeth?!


Question:

Can a energy drink ruin your teeth?

hi peeps!! i drink a monster energy drink every morning (16fl ouz) my teeth are a lil more sensitive than normal. what are the side affects of daily energy drinks?


Answers:
Hey! Just as a fyi any soda is acidic (ie: coke contains a pH level of about 2.5) which CAN be harmful to teeth in the long run by weakening the enamel and making your pearly whites not so white as well as lead to tooth decay and cavities! You know if you place a tooth in soda that after about a week it will be completely dissolved. Now if you decide to switch and it’s the caffeine that you’re going for, I’d suggest trying to switch with a high protein breakfast which will give you that same boost of energy needed to start your day…carnation instant breakfast is great, btw. If you’ve been doing this for a while and you decide to change it up, you will more than likely have withdrawal symptoms such as headaches or feeling drained, but it shouldn’t last too long, perhaps a week or less depending on how long you were dependant on it. Hope this helps!

Energy drinks are full of sugar - so YES

They also overload your bloodstream with glucose - which is great if you're just about to run a marathon but not so good if you want to avoid diabetes and obesity.

same as for soda - cavities. in fact soda those "high energy" drinks are the WORST things you can ingest. worse than candy or gum

yes. more sugar in the drink will certainly ruin your teeth. gum disease and holes in the teeth.

i'm not a dentist, but these would be as bad as soda or worse as they contain high amounts of sugars... some of them very high...

There is alot of sugar in the monster drink along with a whole load of empty calories....You are better off eating protein then that mess and take Vitamin B6 and 12 you will have the same results without the bad calories and you will feel healthier too!

It depends on the amount of sugar in your energy drink.

Those things aren't a really good idea anyhow, particularly if you are drinking them daily.

Yes it can just like all the rest of the fizzy drinks

if it has alot of sugar yes it will affect ur teeth,and some of addatives that harm ur teeth
