One of the biggest threats energy drinks pose to your teeth is their high acidity and sugar levels. Citric acid, added sugar and additives are often used for flavor and preservation, but due to the acidity and sugar residue that attacks and weakens your tooth enamel, the hard outer layer protecting your teeth from decay results in erosion of the enamel. Over time, this erosion can lead to:

Increased sensitivity: Worn enamel exposes the underlying dentin, a layer with tiny tubules that sends sensations directly to nerves. 

Higher risk of cavities: With a weakened enamel, bacteria have an easier time feasting on sugar and producing acid, leading to cavities. 

Tooth discoloration: Erosion can expose the dentin, which is naturally yellow compared to white enamel. This can make your teeth appear dull or discolored. 

Dry mouth and straining: Energy drinks act as a diuretic which can compromisesaliva production, which is crucial for washing away food particles, neutralizingacids, and remineralizing tooth enamel. Promoting the growth of decay causingbacteria and bad breath.
