This chapter explores the impact of sugar-sweetened and acidic soft drinks (SSBs) on oral health. It covers the definitions, global consumption trends and effects on oral health, particularly focusing on dental caries, erosion and periodontal disease. It concludes with advice on managing the oral effects of SSBS from both public health and patient-level perspectives. SSBs, characterised by added caloric sweeteners or free sugars, pose significant health risks. Despite reducing consumption in high-income nations, global intake remains concerningly high, contributing to the global burden of chronic diseases and oral conditions. The high sugar and acid content lowers oral pH, promoting enamel demineralisation and tooth erosion. Increased exposure to sugar also adds to the systemic inflammatory burden, thereby affecting periodontal risk. Management strategies are discussed from both public health and individual perspectives to address these issues. Public health approaches emphasise tackling commercial determinants through measures such as sugar taxes and advertising restrictions. At a patient-centred level, preventive strategies include reducing sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake, consuming them with meals, stimulating saliva flow, using fluoride-based products and making dietary modifications. The combined approach of systemic interventions and individual behavioural changes is crucial for mitigating risks and improving oral health outcomes.
