Lately, I've started getting a few cavities, and I drink a lot of energy drinks, especially during gaming marathons. My dentist mentioned sugary drinks are bad for teeth, but do energy drinks specifically cause cavities more than other sodas? I'm trying to figure out if that's the main culprit.

As someone who loves all kinds of sweet treats, I have to say energy drinks are the worst offenders for teeth because the acid just sits there. If you want to satisfy a sweet craving, enjoy a nice dessert instead and brush well afterwards, rather than sipping acid all day!
