Why Sports Drinks Put Teeth At Risk

Salt Lake City Dental Financing

This post from The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City looks at the risks posed by those ubiquitous sports drinks. Many health-conscious people drink them regularly for hydration during workouts.

While it’s true that they help maintain electrolyte levels in the body (and pose fewer health risks than energy drinks), their acidity can erode tooth enamel. And when tooth enamel erodes, those pearly whites are more  staining, discoloration, and decay.

Nobody wants darkened teeth, so next time you’re at the gym, try substituting water for sports drinks.

If you have already noticed staining or tooth discoloration and would like to do something about it, consider professional teeth whitening. We offer Boost Opalescence whitening, which can brighten your smile in a single office visit.

At The Sugar House Dentist in Salt Lake City we have brightened countless smiles with teeth whitening. People from Millcreek and Holladay also come to us for dental implants, and much more. Call to schedule an appointment with us today!
