In today’s calorie-obsessed culture, it can be hard to hear the truth among all the other health-conscious noise. Henderson residents are frequently misinformed and misled about the health benefits of trends such as cleanses, sugar alternatives, diets, organic vs. nonorganic, and a myriad of other common topics. Today, Dr. Hahn would like to clear up any misconceptions about dental health and diet soda.
The short answer: no. Originally conceived as low-calorie alternatives to one of America’s first commercial legacies, diet sodas have become extremely popular amidst our country’s never-ending battle to lose weight. There’s only one small problem—diet sodas are only marginally better than regular soda. Compared to water, diet soda has zero nutritional value and contains many ingredients that are harmful outside of moderation.
Diet soft drinks are not good for your teeth. Although they are not as detrimental to your smile as regular sodas, which usually have around 45g of sugar per serving, sugar is not the only problem when it comes to soda consumption. For example:
We know that lots of Henderson folks love their soda and Dr. Hahn won’t tell anyone what they can and can’t drink, but the Stephen P. Hahn DDS team also wants you to make informed decisions about your health—especially if you hope to keep your teeth around with you for life. We want everyone in Henderson to have beautiful smiles and strong teeth, but it’s up to you to maintain healthy habits that keep your teeth safe between visits to our office. If you have any questions or would like to visit us for an evaluation, contact your Henderson dentist, Dr. Hahn at Stephen P. Hahn DDS today!
