Description
Energy drinks may wear down tooth enamel, while the evidence on sports drinks and cavities stays murky, conclude Bella Weijia Luo and co-authors in a 2026 systematic review. Searching three databases, they gathered studies linking these beverages to erosion, decay, and saliva changes.
Ten studies covering 5,805 people aged 6 to 89 met the criteria, though 70% carried high or serious risk of bias. Heavier energy drink use consistently tracked with more dental erosion. Sports drink findings conflicted between studies, and caries results were inconclusive for both drink types. Given the thin, low-quality evidence base, the authors press for better-designed research before firm guidance can be given.
