Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk of dental caries and erosion associated with beverage consumption by measuring the sugar content and acidity of beverages for children, marketed in general food stores and cooperative living associations in Korea. Methods: Sixty types of children's beverages marketed in Korea were selected for the study. Calories, sodium, and carbohydrates in the nutrients per 100 ml, the sugar content, and pH of each beverage were measured. Frequency analysis, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were performed (p<0.05). Results: There was no significant difference in sugar content, calories, sodium, and carbohydrate content of regular and cooperative beverages, but the pH of cooperative beverages was significantly higher. Moreover, the mixed drinks had significantly lower sugar content, calories, and carbohydrates than fruit and juice, but the sodium content was significantly higher. Conclusions: When choosing beverages for children, caregivers should be able to easily access information about their impact on the child's oral health. Efforts should be made to maintain appropriate levels of sugar and acidity in beverages for children.
