Ever wonder WHY sugar causes cavities? Our mouths, like our guts, are hosts to our human microbiome. This microbiome aids not only in our oral health, but in systemic health as well. A disruption in the crucial balance of this microbiome can lead to oral issues such as dental caries (cavities) and biofilms (plaque). Sucrose, or sugar, is a great disruptor of the mouth’s microbiome. So, when contemplating your consumption of sugar, consider these 3 variables: amount, frequenc...y and sugar type. Studies show the greater the amount and frequency, the greater the severity of cavities. Also, sucrose has shown to produce more cavities than other sugars like fructose or glucose. Bottom line keep your oral health high by keeping your sugar consumption low! Reference: https://loom.ly/NNJ9Cc4
