Sugar May Damage Your Teeth
Sugar may damage teeth by reducing the protective effect of saliva by decreasing the quantity of saliva production and pH. The minerals in your saliva, such as calcium and phosphate, in addition to fluoride from toothpaste and water, help the enamel repair itself by replacing minerals lost during an "acid attack." This helps strengthen your teeth. It's the result of harmful bacteria digesting the sugar in foods and producing acids.
