is fructose bad for your teeth just like sucrose?

Answer 1

Yes, they are both sugars, and so can cause decay. Lactose and glucose are sugars as well and will do the same thing. And sugars provide ready food for bacteria.

Answer 2

Hi John..

Natural sugars like fructose can cause tooth erosion...ie the enamel erodes, whilst this is happening the tips of the teeth become thin and almost see-through. They certainly dont look diseased.
This also a major cause of sensitive teeth.
Brush 3times a day with a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and avoid snacking. Fizzy drinks are not recommended.

Have regular checkups,floss and use a mouthwash at night

Answer 3

Actually, all sugars can cause tooth decay. Fructose is no better than sucrose in this respect. It is simply a more complex sugar.

Answer 4

According to my dentist,yes. Fructose is much easier on the enamel than sucrose is,however.;-)=
