Got Rot? The Hard Truth About Soft Drinks
Did you know that the average American consumes 53 gallons of
soft drinks—including sodas, juices, teas and other
unhealthy beverages—each year? Choosing healthier beverage options,
like bottled water, milk, and 100% fruit juices, maintaining good oral
health habits and going to the dentist for regular checkups will help
kids of all ages keep their healthy smiles for life.
Soft drink consumption starts at a very young age—and continues
to escalate into youth and adulthood. Excessive soft drink consumption
is linked to rampant tooth decay, both from sugars and acids, weakened
bones, and poor nutrition. Most schools, from elementary through high
school, have vending machines or school stores where sodas and other
soft drinks can be purchased.
Start by choosing healthy beverage options. Brush and floss several times daily
and visit the dentist for regular checkups to combat the decay and live a
healthier life. The Got Rot brochure and poster provide
important details on the dangers of drinking sodas and sugared/acidic beverages
and how to fight back.
