Why Sports Drinks Put Teeth At Risk in Decatur

Many health-conscious people exercise regularly, and some depend on sports drinks for hydration. While it’s true that they help preserve electrolyte levels in the body (and pose fewer health risks than energy drinks), their acidity can erode tooth enamel. And when tooth enamel is compromised, those pearly whites are more staining, discoloration, and decay.

Nobody wants stained 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 know more about porcelain veneers or teeth whitening, give Decatur Smiles a call at 256-350-5820.
