Lower sugar levies gives poorer teeth

It's a bomb in particular children and young people's dental health, sugar levies have decreased every year since 2001. It goes Dental Association President Susanne Andersen, commenting on new data from the Treasury.

- We can see that the portions have become larger over the last ten years and it is hardly unlikely that it has something to do with the gradual tax reductions. Candy bags have become larger, and so is soda bottles. While the largest soft drink bottles, ten years ago contained 1 ½ liters, we are now at 2 liters. And it is a big problem for the teeth. The large bottles deadlines especially children and young people to have a soft bullet and take a sip of it periodically. In this way the teeth of a constant acid bath and the acid in soda can at worst corrode tooth enamel away, says Susanne Andersen.

Studies have shown that every 7 teenager to a greater or lesser degree has syreskader on tooth enamel.

In addition to acid damage is sugar in sodas and candy one of the major culprits when it comes to tooth decay. The tendency has been for many years, the Danes have fewer and fewer cavities, but Susanne Andersen is afraid that the positive trend will stop if the intake of sugar continues to rise.
