Energy Drink Warning For Anchorage Kids (And Parents!)

Wasilla Smile Redesign

We’re committed to providing oral health and wellness tips. Alaska Premier Dental Group in Anchorage and Wasilla advises our patients  about healthy habits during every dental visit. We are seeing more and more adults and teens with tooth enamel erosion caused by repeated consumption of sports drinks.

Most of our patients take good care of their teeth, brush and floss, and come into Alaska Premier Dental Group for a twice-yearly exam and cleaning.

But guess what? If you drink energy drinks or other sugary beverages regularly, your enamel can weaken and you can be more prone to cavities.

Drinks like Red Bull, Rock Star, and Monster are a cocktail of powerful acids and other enamel-eroding substances. Most of them contain citric acid, fruit juices, loads of sugar, and a potent chemical that gives them their bright fluorescent color. By drinking them, you’re just bathing your teeth in acid and sugar. And who would take that kind of bath?

Water is best for your teeth.

If you or your child’s teeth have started to erode or have cavities, we can help.

At Alaska Premier Dental Group, services include cosmetic and family  dentistry, as well as sedation dentistry, snoring prevention and wisdom teeth extraction. Schedule an appointment with us today.
