Introduction. Acid can affect dental health. Soft drinks typically can be categorized as acid. Their high acidity can result in tooth erosion and increase tooth mineral's solubility.
Methods. This article review conducted using related journals about soft drinks and tooth mineral's solubility. All of the chosen articles were published within the last 10 years.
Discussion. Soft drinks' acidity could affect tooth mineral with several mechanisms; tooth mineral demineralization, decreasing pH, and buffering effect. Some studies showed different results, but generally, results from recent studies showed the significant relation between the consumption of soft drinks with tooth mineral's solubility.
Conclusion. There is a significant relationship between the consumption of carbonated drinks and the solubility of tooth minerals. Thats why to keep dental and oral health, it is very recommended to avoid excessively consuming soft drinks and replace it with healthier drinks, as well as maintaining dental and oral hygiene by routinely brushing the teeth.
