Is that Drink Hurting Your Teeth

It is widely believed that one gets cavities because of sugar.  While that is a easy thing to point to, especially when talking with children, it is an oversimplification.  Sugar and fermentable carbohydrates are simply a catalyst for tooth decay.  While it is a great idea to minimize exposure to sugar in one’s diet, that is not the holy grail to prevent dental caries (cavities).
