The Power of Sour on Your Teeth

Chewing and sucking on sour candies has become an increasingly popular trend in our country.  Walk into any grocery or convenience store and witness the colorful and enticing array of extremely sour candy treats for sale.  But what might appear to be a harmless treat can have a devastating effect on teeth, causing erosion of protective tooth enamel that can be very severe, even leading to permanent tooth loss. 

The MDA has become a national leader in raising awareness of this public health problem, distributing hundreds of thousands of educational materials, including brochures, flyers and posters, to dental offices across the country.  Take a look at the Power of Sour section of our website and order materials for your office.
