A young man in China who drank Coke in place of water for an extended time required extensive dental work due to the severe damage caused to his teeth. According to the doctor’s interview, the man drank two to three bottles of Coke every day.
Chinese media say that the 23-year-old man from Wuhan, Hubei Province, recently went to a hospital for problems with tooth decay and losing teeth.
After asking the man some questions, the doctor was shocked to find out that he hadn’t drunk much water in a long time and only drank two to three bottles of Coke daily to quench his thirst.
After looking at the man’s teeth, the doctor found that the front tooth had a crown and was in a pretty good state. However, the back tooth was in bad shape and was almost gone because of the cola.
The doctor said that you could only keep the teeth that could be fixed, and the ones that couldn’t be fixed could only be removed and replaced with implants.
The doctor said that cola is nasty for your teeth because it has carbonic acid, which reacts with the calcium in your teeth and wears them down. He said that people shouldn’t drink, and if they do, they should choose sugar-free drinks. He also said that people should brush their teeth at night before going to bed, and they shouldn’t eat or drink after brushing their teeth.
The man’s story shows that drinking cola for a long time can harm your health. So, it would be best if you didn’t drink too many carbonated drinks, especially at night before bed.
