Objective:To determine the amount of sugar and pH in commercially available soft drinks in Jazan, Saudi Arabia. This was further compared with their labeled values in order to inform the regulations. The effects of these drinks on teeth is reviewed.Materials and Methods:Ten brands of popular soft drinks including 6 regular carbonated drinks and 4 energy drinks were obtained from the local markets. Their pH was determined using a pH meter. The amount of total sugar, glucose, fructose, and sucrose was estimated using high performance liquid chromatography (using Dionex ICS 5000 ion chromatography) at the Saudi Food and Drug Authority. Descriptive statistics was done to obtain the mean and standard deviation. Intergroup comparison was performed using independent t-test, and the labeled and estimated values within the group were compared with paired t-test.Results:The labeled and estimated sugar in energy drinks (14.3 ± 0.48 and 15.6 ± 2.3, respectively) were higher than the carbonated drinks (11.2 ± 0.46 and 12.8 ± 0.99), which was statistically significant. In addition, there was a significant difference in the concentration of glucose in energy drinks (5.7 ± 1.7) compared to carbonated drinks (4.1 ± 1.4). The pH of these drinks ranged from 2.4 to 3.2. The differences between the estimated and labeled sugar in carbonated drinks showed statistical significance. Mild variation was observed in total sugar, glucose, fructose, and sucrose levels among different bottles of the same brand of these drinks.Conclusion:The low pH and high sugar content in these drinks are detrimental to dental health. Comparison of the estimated sugar with their labeled values showed variation in most of the brands. Preventive strategies should be implemented to reduce the health risks posed by these soft drinks.

“…Several studies have shown direct relationship between dental caries and soft drinks. [ 4 5 10 11 12 13 ] Tooth erosion is progressive loss of tooth substance by acids that does not involve bacteria. The erosive potential of soft drinks depends on total titrable acids along with their pH.…”

Dental caries is a most prevalent oral disease in children. There were tendency of diverse children drink consumption including soft drinks that attracts by its taste and flavor and causing dental caries. Earlier study suggested that tea had important element in dental caries inhibition. Hence this study was conducted to evaluate and compare pH of saliva after rinsing with green tea and black tea. Methods for his study was conducted among thirty two healthy school children between 10-12 years old. The subjects who fulfilled inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and randomly divided into two groups. The first group had rinsing with green tea and the other group with black tea. They were asked to rinse for one minute after sugary soft drink consumption. Then salivary pH were measured using pH meter.. Statistical analysis was done using Mann Whitney test. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results of this study showed that there was no statistically significant difference among subjects rinsing for one minute with green tea and black tea after sugary soft drink consumption. But green tea showed much better effect in rising salivary pH. As the conclusion that green tea showed a promising greater rising on salivary pH than black tea after sugary soft drink consumption in children.

“…They suffer from dental caries, periodontal disease, gingivitis, and tooth wear. 6 Consumption of carbonated beverages is considered as the risk factor for the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and regurgitation which leads to dental erosion. 7 Studies related to oral health of the soft drink factory workers are limited.…”

Background: Oral health is an integral part of general health. Good oral health helps people to communicate and enhances their dignity and personality. Oral health of soft drink factory workers depended on their working environment. Aims and objectives: To assess the oral health status and treatment needs of soft drink factory workers in Madurai city, Tamil Nadu, India. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 175 soft drink factory workers. Informed consent from the participants and ethical clearance were obtained. Data were collected by using WHO Oral Health Assessment Form for Adults, 2013. Results: The result shows higher prevalence of oral problems with 80% dental caries, 82.9% gingival bleeding, 13.7% periodontal pockets, 15.4% loss of attachment, 54.9% fluorosis, and 50.9% dental erosion in soft drink factory workers. Conclusion: The study suggests that the oral health status of these soft drink factory workers is poor and there is an increased need for their dental treatment.
