These bacteria feed on the food residues, creating acidic byproducts that wear down the enamel of our teeth.

However, sugar intake alone is not the cause of cavities.<sup>2-4<\/sup>\u00a0A wide range of factors including personal behaviors (diet quality and dietary behaviors), oral characteristics (oral microflora, fluoride exposure, saliva production, plaque), oral hygiene and food composition and timing (exposure, frequency) also play a role. <sup>2-5<\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>100% Fruit Juice and 100% Orange Juice<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is varying information about the link between cavities and sweetened beverages. Canada\u2019s Dietary Guidelines suggest that beverages that contain free sugars (including 100 percent fruit juice) have been associated with a higher risk of dental decay in children.<sup>6<\/sup> However, a prospective study assessing carbohydrate consumption in children found no association between tooth decay and foods containing medium or high amounts of sugar.<sup>7<\/sup>\u00a0Two additional studies found no increased risk of cavities in low-income and minority children consuming 100 percent fruit juice <sup>8,9<\/sup>\u00a0and a 1999-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study in 2-to 5-year-old children found no association between 100 percent fruit juice intake and cavity risk.<sup>10\u00a0 <\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>100% orange juice includes many nutrients known to support tooth and bone health, such as vitamin C, potassium and magnesium.
