Do you love to eat sugary products?
\nIf yes, then you are just not feeding yourself and satisfying your taste buds with sugary products, but also you are laying a path for the growth of bacteria and cavities in your teeth.<\/p>\n

We all know that our mouth has hundreds of bacteria that are beneficial to the oral ecosystem. When a sugary substance enters our mouth, the bacteria blends with the sugars and forms acids that destroy enamel and lead to further dental complications.<\/p>\n

Here are the top five complications on the teeth due to sugary products:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tooth decay and Sugar:\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sugars in the food and drinks combine with bacteria and the plaque to exhibit acids that dissolve the enamel and results in tooth decay.
    \nIn 2010, WHO have recorded consistent equal results of sugar consumed and tooth decay. When the intake of sugar-free products is less than 10% of energy intake, the cases of dental caries are recorded less in number
    \nAs per the Cohort analysis in 2014, it stated that approximately 26000 kids per year have dental caries.
    \nPlaque begins to form on the teeth, after 20 minutes of consumption of sugars. If it is untreated, it starts tooth decay.
    \nThe risk of tooth decay is more in children and adolescents.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Gingivitis:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There are many different types of bacteria in and around the teeth.
      \nBacteria feed on the sugars from sweetened drinks and form plaque.
      \nBacteria and plaque present around the gums exhibit toxic products that eventually enter the gums.
      \nThe untreated toxic products settled in the gums become advanced and cause gingivitis.
      \nIf gingivitis remains in the teeth for a long time, it results in periodontitis or leads to tooth extraction.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Tooth Erosion:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The acids generated by the bacteria and plaque from the sweet beverages like soft drinks, juices, etc. are harmful and weaken the teeth.
        \nDue to the acids in the sweet drinks, the enamel tears, and the inner layer of the tooth called dentin is exposed, which results in tooth hypersensitivity, and this leads to tooth pain.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Health risks:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Sugary products as they enter into the mouth, they blend with bacteria and form plaque.
          \nIf this bacteria and plaque remain in the teeth, they enter into the bloodstream and causes different health issues like:<\/p>\n
