Common Causes of Tooth Decay
and Regular Dentist Visits
 Sports Drinks
 Do you love sports drinks? Do you think you need to go for these drinks to get
the energy to perform better in any sport? Well, you may soon be dealing with
dental issues too. Sports drinks are extremely popular, but the truth is that
they have a high pH level, which makes them a little too acidic for your teeth.
Excessive drinking can damage the enamel on your teeth and lead to erosion.
These drinks are usually high in sugars, which is another reason why they can
be extremely damaging to your teeth. Keep drinking them and you will
eventually be out looking for a dentist for help.
 Dry Mouth
 Many people do not know that saliva actually helps wash away bacteria and
acids and saves you from dealing with infections and many other dental
problems. A dry mouth will provide bacteria a feasible environment to grow
and cause cavities. Not seeing a dentist in a timely manner would make those
cavities go really bad and lead to other more severe dental issues. Be sure to
drink plenty of water and take special care when using mouthwash because
they can also leave you with a dry mouth.
