It is a fact that sugary drinks such as soda and juices can in fact damage the teeth. Plaques will form and the sugar substance can seep in the in-betweens of the teeth. There is a recent study that showed the risks of sugary drinks to 3 and 5 year olds, and the researchers found out that in 3 year olds, 31 of every 100 kids had visible plaques on their teeth and 7 out of 100 had cavity. 3 year olds who drank sugary drinks before going to bed were 8 times more at risk than those who don’t. The 5 year olds on the other hand showed that 37 of every 100 kids had plaque and 31 of every 100 had at least 1 cavity. 5 year olds who drink sugary drinks before going to bed will were at risk 2 -3 times more at risk than those who don’t.
