Just because cough drops are sold in the medicine aisle
doesn't mean they’re healthy. Most are loaded with sugar. So after soothing
your throat with a lozenge, be sure to brush well. Whether the sugar comes from
a cough drop or a hard candy, it reacts with the sticky plaque that coats your
teeth. Then bacteria in the plaque convert the sugar into an acid that eats
away at tooth enamel. Hello, cavities.
