Sugar: The Invisible Killer of Oral Health

In modern life, sugar and carbonated beverages have permeated our daily diet, and the sweet taste and instant refreshment they bring are hard to resist. These seemingly harmless pleasures have a quiet impact on our oral health that cannot be ignored. Sugar, as a source of energy, is not harmful to the body in moderation. When sugar is consumed in excess, it becomes an invisible killer of oral health. After we consume something with too much sugar, the excess sugar will be broken down to produce acids, and these acids will destroy the enamel on the surface of the teeth, leading to tooth decay. Long-term intake of large amounts of sugar will not only cause gradual damage to the teeth, but may also trigger oral inflammation, gingivitis and other oral diseases.
