Popular Energy Drinks Cause Too...(ond Martin DDS MAGD AGD spokesperson say...),Health

Date:3/12/2008

ond Martin, DDS, MAGD, AGD spokesperson, says he treats more patients in their teens to 20s for tooth erosion. "They drink a great deal more sodas, sports drinks, and energy drinks," he says. "The results, if not treated early and if extensive, can lead to very severe dental issues that would require full mouth rehabilitation to correct," says Dr. Martin.

Drink responsibly for your oral health:

-- Use a straw positioned at the back of the mouth so that the liquid avoids the teeth

-- Rinse the mouth with water after drinking acidic beverages

-- Limit the intake of sodas, sports drinks and energy drinks

The AGD is a professional association of more than 35,000 general dentists dedicated to staying up-to-date in the profession through continuing education. Founded in 1952, the AGD has grown to become the world's second largest dental association, which is the only association that exclusively represents the needs and interests of general dentists.

More than 772,000 persons are employed directly in the field of general dentistry. A general dentist is the primary care provider for patients of all ages and is responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, management and overall coordination of services related to patients' oral health needs.
