The Best Source of Caffeine for Your Oral Health
Can you live without caffeine? I know I can’t. I patient recently asked me what the best “source” of caffeine was based on oral health. A great question!
My aunt started a new diet, which refrained her from caffeine…and she claimed she lost 6 friends! As Americans, we are all addicted to caffeine, in one way or another. Ninety percent of all Americans will ingest caffeine in some form each day. This fact makes caffeine the most popular drug in America, and one of the most addictive.

Areas evaluated will be focused on amounts of caffeine, sugar content, teeth staining potential, and erosiveness.
