Why You Might Still Get Cavities Even Without Eating Sugar — A Holistic Dental Perspective

Most people believe cavities = sugar.But what if you’ve cut out sweets, and cavities keep coming back?

Here’s the truth: sugar is only one piece of the puzzle. Cavities are influenced by oral habits, body function, and even your nutrition.

1. Acidic Drinks

Coffee, sparkling water, kombucha, and even sugar-free sodas are acidic. This weakens enamel, making teeth more vulnerable.

2. Mouth Breathing

When you breathe through your mouth, saliva dries up. Without saliva’s minerals and protective enzymes, teeth lose their natural defence.

3. Mineral Imbalances

Teeth rely on nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, and K2. If your body is deficient, enamel can’t remineralise properly.

4. Oral Function

Tongue and lip posture act as your body’s natural braces. When function is off, enamel stress and gum issues increase — setting the stage for decay.
