Abstract(s)
A Organização Mundial da Saúde recomenda que os níveis de consumo de açúcar não ultrapassem os 5% de ingestão de calorias diárias. Contudo, cada vez mais crianças e jovens apresentam um consumo elevado de bebidas ricas em açúcar com consequências negativas para a sua saúde geral e saúde oral. Para além do açúcar, estas bebidas possuem um caráter ácido, que leva a uma diminuição do pH da cavidade oral. Desta forma, o objetivo principal foi compreender os efeitos que as bebidas açucaradas podem causar na saúde oral desde a infância até à adolescência. Assim, realizou-se um estudo de revisão narrativa, tendo por base 70 artigos publicados em inglês e português, no período de 2013 a 2023, através das bases de dados: PubMed, b-on e Scielo Portugal. Dos 70 estudos selecionados, verificou-se que a introdução das bebidas açucaradas, por parte dos pais, na alimentação é feita em idades muito jovens, o que poderá influenciar as suas escolhas na adolescência e na fase adulta. Os profissionais de saúde e os médicos dentistas desempenham um papel bastante importante na educação da população sobre os efeitos das bebidas açucaradas, aconselhando-se a diminuir o seu consumo, ou até mesmo evitá-lo. Os esforços a nível de regulamentação deste tipo de bebidas devem ser mais eficazes, pois ainda se verifica um consumo elevado por parte dos adolescentes, o qual influenciará a sua saúde oral, tanto no presente, como no futuro.
The World Health Organization recommends that sugar consumption levels should not exceed 5% of daily energy intake. However, more and more children and young people have a high consumption of sugar-rich beverages with negative consequences for their general and oral health. In addition to sugar, these drinks have an acidic character, which leads to a decrease in the pH of the oral cavity. In this way, the main objective was to understand the effects that sugary drinks can cause on oral health from childhood to adolescence. Thus, a narrative review study was carried out, based on 70 articles published in English and Portuguese, in the period from 2013 to 2023, through the databases: PubMed, b-on and Scielo Portugal. From the 70 studies selected, it was found that the introduction of sugary drinks by parents in the diet is done at a very young age, which may influence their choices in adolescence and adulthood. Health professionals and dentists play a very important role in educating the population about the effects of sugary drinks, advising them to reduce their consumption, or even avoid it. Efforts to regulate this type of beverage must be more effective, as there is still a high consumption by adolescents, which will influence their oral health, both now and in the future.
