Dr Tariq Drabu said “Teenagers who are just starting university need to be made aware of the dangers a university lifestyle may have on their oral health. The late nights, the alcohol, abundance of fizzy drinks and poor diet can all have a significantly negative impact on their oral health now and moving forward.”
Dr Tariq Drabu in Manchester went on to say “For many just starting out at university they are leaving home for the first time and the party lifestyle is fun and exciting. But what they don’t realise is that alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration. We need our saliva to protect our teeth and alcohol causes dehydration, which of course reduces the amount of saliva we produce. In addition to this, the majority of university students will rely on energy drinks to keep them awake and able to keep up with the demanding workload. Energy drinks are brimming with sugar, which can lead to tooth decay. Combine energy drinks and dehydration and you have a recipe for oral health disaster.”
Dr Tariq Drabu closed in saying “It is important that all university students are made aware that they must not brush their teeth just after drinking a sugared drink. They should drink plenty of water to keep them hydrated and ensure they brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste.”
