- Abstract: Taking sports supplements is an increasing trend within the population and regular consumption of these supplements may increase the risk of developing caries. This paper focuses on identifying current evidence relating to caries risk and sports supplements, and also aims to investigate the sugar content of current sports supplements available in the UK. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Frequent sugar attacks causes caries. Dentists need to be aware that ingestion of sports supplements, eg protein bars/powders for some patients may contribute to the development of caries and this should form part of their caries risk assessment.
