Sugar

Does sugar cause cavities?

Sugar can contribute to cavities, but only if it is allowed to remain on the teeth for long periods of time. The most important thing is to brush after meals and snacks. Think about what you drink, too. If you drink coffee or soft drinks throughout the day without brushing afterwards, you are risking stains and cavities. Drinking sugary drinks can be as bad for your teeth as eating candy, especially if you don't brush.
