My Dentist says they are seeing a Major uptick in cavities, esp in children these past years. The have concluded that it is because a lot of people are drinking bottled water, which contains no fluoride. He also says that the number of people involved in sports or working out that drink Gator-Aide type drinks is also causing serious problems. He said drinking Gatorade is fine, if you drink it at one time, and then brush your teeth immediately. But people/esp kids drink it over a period of many hours and then don't brush their teeth. He says the combination of SALTS and sugar is far more corrosive than just sugar....and the salt/sugar lingers in your mouth for hours eating away.....
