The Sweet Threat: How Sugar Impacts Your Oral Health
Chennai: Excessive sugar consumption can have detrimental effects on our oral health, contributing to tooth decay and other issues. According to Dr. Sonia Datta, MDS, PhD, Professor in Public Health Dentistry, understanding the relationship between sugar intake and dental problems is crucial for making informed dietary choices. When we consume sugary foods or drinks, the bacteria in our mouths feed on the sugars, producing acids that attack tooth enamel, leading to tooth decay and cavities.
The Impact of Sugar on Teeth
The stickiness of some sugary foods allows them to cling to teeth, prolonging the acid attack. Frequent snacking on sugary foods means that our teeth are constantly exposed to acid, increasing the risk of damage. The type of sugar consumed also plays a role, with sticky, sugary foods more likely to adhere to teeth and contribute to decay.
