Effects of Fruit Juice Drinks on Tooth Enamel
We all know that it is important to brush our teeth regularly, preferably after every meal. We also should try and limit the frequency of sweet foods and drinks. It is this constant attack that can overwhelm the defenses of our teeth and cause tooth decay.
Apple juice, like all other fruit juices, is both acidic and sweet. In other words, the acid will soften the enamel of the teeth while the sugar will give an energy source for the caries bacteria, so fruit juice will help you get cavities.
It's a bad idea to let kids drink juice all the time, especially from the bottle. A glass or two is of coarse fine and has lots of other health benefits.
So if you would like to bring your child too check if they have cavities please call Dr.Oneil's office for an appointment 954-720-9570
