According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom, Wang Yang, a 17-year-old girl living in Wuhan, Hubei Province, visited Wuhan University Dental Hospital due to tooth pain and discoloration.
Tests showed that 15 of her teeth were either perforated or rotten.
During the interview with her doctor, she said "I drank more coke than water in the past year" and "I think I drank at least four to five bottles a day" I didn't even brush my teeth or floss properly.
The doctor said "Wang Yang is a very beautiful woman, but every time she smiled, she saw a black cavity. I couldn't even smile properly because of this," he said.
The doctor explained that "'Carbonated drinks contain acidic ingredients, and after a long period of consumption, the enamel on the surface of the tooth corrodes and damages the enamel, the tooth becomes sensitive, accompanied by pain and discomfort in cold, heat, sour, sweet and other irritations.'
It also warned that "if further progression, cavities can form, causing more serious problems such as toothache and even leading to tooth loss."
Wang Yang received intensive care at the hospital for about 2 months.
She said "There is very little toothache after systematic treatment. The color of my teeth has also returned to some extent, so I can laugh freely" and "Now I've completely stopped drinking coke" he said.
