A recent study on the increase in the consumption of energy and sports drinks is causing concern within the dental community. These drinks contain high acidity which erodes the enamel on the teeth leaving it more open to decay, sensitivity, and other dental problems. The age group who tend to consume the most sports drinks is adolescents. Considering the irreversible damage that these drinks can cause, it is even more alarming that younger generations are the ones consuming them the most.
