Abstract
Dental caries is one of the oral health problems that remains widely found among adolescents, particularly alongside the increasing consumption of sugary drinks due to lifestyle changes and easier access to various sweetened beverage products. This study aims to examine the association between the frequency of sugary drink consumption and the incidence of caries in adolescents based on various relevant research findings. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study approach. Data were obtained through the search, selection, and analysis of various scientific literature sources relevant to the research topic, and were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data verification, and data presentation. The results show that a high frequency of sugary drink consumption is associated with an increased risk of caries in adolescents. Repeated sugar consumption can trigger the activity of cariogenic bacteria, produce acids that cause tooth demineralization, and disrupt the balance of the oral microbiota, thereby accelerating caries development. The conclusion of this study affirms that the frequency of sugary drink consumption is an important factor that needs to be considered in caries prevention among adolescents. The implications of this study indicate the need for promotive and preventive efforts through oral health education, restriction of sugary drink consumption, and strengthening of caries prevention programs to reduce caries risk and improve the quality of adolescents’ oral health.
