Research shows that drinking too much yogurt or cheese products will accelerate tooth decay and more likely lead to tooth decay. According to the oral condition of infants and young children, dental experts have done a survey. The results show that children who drink yogurt at least four times a week are about 22% more likely to have tooth decay within three years than those who drink yogurt only once a week or don't drink yogurt at all.

In a survey of 3, children, apart from the differences in diet, the differences in living habits in the family environment also have a certain impact on dental health. The incidence of oral diseases in children living in poverty is twice as high as that in children living in wealth, which may have a lot to do with poor children not brushing their teeth often. Now some studies believe that drinking yogurt can help prevent gum atrophy and tooth loss, which may be due to the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt, which can effectively neutralize or inhibit the effect of anaerobic infection.

But why do you say that yogurt will corrode teeth? There are many kinds of yogurt drinks, and they all contain lactic acid bacteria with the same characteristics. When you drink too much and don't rinse your mouth in time, it may lead to tooth decay. This is because lactobacillus in yogurt is easy to mix with mucin and food scraps in saliva, and when it firmly adheres to the tooth surface and pit and fissure, it will form plaque, which will easily cause decalcification and dissolution of tooth enamel surface and form tooth decay. Moreover, the tolerance level of teeth to acid is not high. When the pH value in the mouth is high, it is easy to corrode the enamel on the tooth surface, resulting in decalcification of teeth and eventually forming tooth decay.

drinking yogurt should not be excessive. For teenagers, especially children, drinking yogurt and carbonated drinks should not be excessive, and it is best not to exceed two boxes at a time. The most important thing is to develop good hygiene habits. Every time you drink yogurt, you must rinse your mouth with clean water. Some people like to rinse their mouth with drinks, which is unscientific. Yogurt contains a high amount of calcium, so drinking it properly has some benefits for teeth. However, many yoghurts are added with sugar, and excessive drinking will easily lead to dental caries. Even sugar-free yogurt contains nutrients that dental bacteria like and can also cause dental caries.
