Energy drinks may combine acidity, sugar and colourants. Frequent sipping increases the time they remain in contact with enamel, so the way you drink matters as well as the number of cans.
Main risks
- enamel erosion caused by acids,
- tooth decay from drinks containing sugar,
- surface deposits from coloured varieties,
- dry mouth, which caffeine may worsen in some people.
What should you do after drinking one?
- Rinse your mouth with water.
- Do not brush immediately after an acidic drink.
- Do not sip it for hours.
- Continue regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste.
Products for surface stains cannot reverse erosion. Pain or sensitivity needs professional assessment.
