Does Sugar Really Rot Your Teeth?

The answer is YES, sugar can lead to damaging your teeth.

When sugar is consumed it interacts with the bacteria in your mouth which then produces acid.

It’s the acid that is responsible for tooth decay. It attacks your teeth, slowly dissolving the enamel of your teeth and creates holes or cavities.

Tooth decay is the most common dental problem in Australia.

The best way to prevent the negative effects of sugar on teeth, is to avoid sugar… but that’s easier said than done. So, after you consume sugary foods or sugary drinks brush your teeth promptly.

Seeing your dentist every 6 to 12 months for a comprehensive check-up and teeth cleaning is critical to maintaining a bright, healthy and beautiful smile.

UPDATE: Mascot Dental Centre were made aware of the situation via this google review and offered the crown procedure at a heavily discounted rate given the misunderstanding. They have apologised, assisted in rectifying the unnecessary expenses and done what they can to keep me as a returning client. Much appreciated.I presented to Mascot Dental Centre in February 2022 with ongoing issues associated with one tooth and it’s failed fillings and uncomfortable sensitivity. To date, I have spent upwards of $1,600 at the clinic (not including what private health covered) for check ups, failed fillings and X-rays, having only recently agreeing to a root canal treatment on this tooth. During this treatment, a fragment of the file that they use broke off in a canal. Because of this, I was referred to a specialist endodontist to attempt to resolve the issue and finish the root canal. I understand there are risks and these things can happen, but the fact that there was no apology or discount offered on the incomplete work, as well as no discussion of potential costs if referral was required, left me quite disappointed. All up now, after specialist treatment, I have spent $4,500 on a tooth that was giving me grief in February and I’m yet to have a crown put in place $$$. The staff are lovely, but no one who has to fork out this much money on one tooth can be impressed.

Friendly and reassuring. Dr Rahmati was clear about the treatment I am likely to need and has a caring and thoughtful approach. I will need more treatment and I have no hesitation in continuing with Dr Rahmati and recommending him and Mascot Dental Centre

Dr Haidy Bastorous is amazing! The rest of the staff are also very well accomodating. I’ve had a few visits over the past year for cleaning and a tooth extraction where local anaesthetic was involved. They gave me enough to not feel anything and comforted me through the whole process. I also had to book a last minute cleaning to prepare for my Invisalign treatment with my orthodontist and had to book a different dentist whom I forgot the name to apologies. She was able to treat me was exceptional as well! Overall, I am always satisfied with the service the staff at Mascot Dental Centre have provided me. Thank you!
