AWARENESS ON TOOTH SENSITIVITY AND EXCESS CONSUMPTION OF AERATED SOFT DRINKS

Aim: To find the relation between soft drinks or aerated Background: Soft drinks contain a lot of sugar. The decay drink causes sensitivity first and then in further stages decay can also take place. Over time, a hole develops which in the soft drinks interact with bacteria in the mouth to teeth. Both regular and sugar-free sodas also contain their teeth too. Soft drinks have phosphoric acid and citric acid, the tooth and can cause sensitivity.

Tooth sensitivity is a common dental problem that involves discomfort or pain in teeth when encountering certain substances and temperatures. At least 40 million adults suffer from sensitive teeth in the United States, according to the Academy of General Dentistry. The pain is often sharp and sudden, but it is temporary. According to the Cleveland Clinic, the pain may shoot into the tooth's nerve endings. Fortunately, sensitive teeth can be treated and the condition can improve.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Questionnaire based on the survey was conducted through a link created using survey planet software.100 students were involved in the survey.

DISCUSSION
According to the above results most of the people are clear that soft drinks are hazardous to life and they avoid drinking. But only few are aware that they may cause sensitivity to the tooth and it may also erode the enamel.

CONCLUSION
From this survey it can be concluded that 90% of the population are aware that drinking soft drinks causes health hazards mainly like tooth sensitivity. This survey may help in creating awareness about sensitivity due to soft drinks
