Boys born after 2000 have been drinking Coke as water for a long time, which has caused all their teeth to decay. Do you have "cola teeth"?

Science Fiction Network reported on February 15 (Xu Mingyang) According to Shanhai Video, a 23-year-old boy in Wuhan, Hubei, came to Wuhan Union Hospital for treatment because his teeth were decayed and falling out due to long-term drinking of cola. The doctor learned that the boy had almost never drunk boiled water for a long time and drank 2 to 3 bottles of cola every day. The examination found that the back teeth were basically all rotten.

Although our teeth are very hard, they are very afraid of acid. If we drink a lot of carbonated drinks and acidic foods for a long time, the oral cavity will be in an acidic environment for a long time, and the hard tissue outside the teeth will dissolve and be destroyed. This situation is medically called acid erosion, which is what we often call "cola teeth". In addition to teeth, excessive consumption of carbonated drinks may also affect people's bones, cells, sleep, etc.

In addition to carbonic acid, carbonated drinks also contain acidic substances such as phosphoric acid and citric acid, and there is also a lot of sugar. Probably no one's teeth can survive the joint attack of acid and sugar. What measures can we take to deal with the possible "cola teeth"?

First of all, daily cleaning is very important. You should learn the scientific and correct way to brush your teeth and use oral cleaning tools such as dental floss. It should be noted that it is best to wait half an hour before brushing your teeth after drinking carbonated drinks, otherwise it is easy to cause secondary damage to your teeth.

You can drink carbonated drinks with a straw. After drinking the drink, you can rinse your mouth with warm water. This can reduce the acid concentration in the mouth and avoid damaging the teeth.

Control the amount of carbonated drinks you drink. It's okay to drink some occasionally to satisfy your craving, but don't become unable to stop drinking.
