does alcohol make teeth weak
Alcohol Abuse Doesnât Just Mean More Cavities. Pure alcohol on its own will not damage oneâs teeth. However, most people donât drink pure alcohol. Beer, liquor and mixed drinks have high sugar content and high acidity, breaking down the enamel that protects your teeth. This can lead to cavities, long term tooth decay and increase the risk of periodontal disease. People that suffer from alcohol abuse may also forget to brush their teeth. While once in a while forgetting to brush isnât the end of the world, poor dental hygiene can have long-term repercussions.
