RESULTS The results showed that out of the total participants 93% reported consuming aerated drinks out of which 84% of participants were seen to consume aerated drink for a period of more than 3 years. About 55% of participants were found to have symptoms like sensitivity. About 41% of them were found to have anterior tooth discoloration and 47% of them were found to have bleeding gums.
