Abstract
Caffeine is a widely consumed psychoactive substance found in various
beverages and food products. Its effects on oral health have been a topic of
interest in dental research. The article begins by discussing the sources of
caffeine, including coffee, tea, energy drinks, and soft drinks. It explores
the patterns of caffeine consumption observed in society, considering factors
such as frequency, quantity, and timing of consumption. The potential impact on
dental caries, tooth erosion, periodontal health, and oral cancer is discussed.
Studies investigating the association between caffeine consumption and these
oral health outcomes are reviewed, highlighting both positive and negative
findings. While excessive caffeine intake and certain habits, such as drinking
acidic caffeinated beverages, can have detrimental effects on oral health,
moderate caffeine consumption in the context of a healthy lifestyle may not
necessarily be harmful. Overall, this review article provides a comprehensive
summary of the current knowledge regarding caffeine and its relationship with
oral health. By understanding the potential effects and mechanisms involved,
dental professionals can better educate patients and provide appropriate
recommendations to promote optimal oral health outcomes in caffeine consumers.
