How Alcohol Affects Your Oral Health

Whenever you drink alcohol be aware of the extra risks it places on your oral health.

Key points:

– Alcohol is highly acidic and can erode enamel.

– Sugar in alcohol increases the risk of tooth decay.

– Alcohol is dehydrating and can also increase the risk of oral cancers.

Keep hydrated with water when you drink alcohol and wait 30 minutes after drinking alcohol before brushing your teeth. Brush twice a day and have regular dental screenings with your dentist.
