Yeh, I mean. It’s not a crisis level thing. And yeh, for stuff between 1-2 hours, unless it’s a indoor interval session over 90min, I also only drink water.
I brush twice a day, floss once a day and my other sugary stuff is basically taken in training. I don’t drink soda, don’t sweeten my coffee, etc. I’ve always done the “two bottle” method and use a pretty dilute sports drink because I get burnt out on sweet stuff quickly. I haven’t had a cavity or any dental work for over 10 years.
I thought this would be a useful article for the forum, because, despite good dental habits, the surveyed athletes do have more dental problems than average people with typically worse habits. I also liked that the tips were pretty minor interventions (ie, change your toothpaste) that wouldn’t really effect your life.
