Modelling the impact of increase in sugar prices on dental caries in India.

Increasing the cost of sugar and/or SSBs will reduce the daily intake of sugar, which will reduce caries incidence and subsequent progression, thereby preventing caries-attributed tooth-loss and saving treatment costs.

Front-of-Package Food Labeling to Reduce Caries: Economic Evaluation

It is suggested that FoPFL has the potential to substantially reduce caries increment, caries-related morbidity, and economic burden, and the inclusion of oral health estimates in overall health estimates for sugar-related food labeling is allowed.

Taxes to Unhealthy Food and Beverages and Oral Health in Mexico: An Observational Study

Positive impacts of the implementation of taxes on unhealthy food and beverages in the oral health of Mexicans are suggested, which are the first health benefits observed, and add to the health benefits predicted by modeling studies.

Taxation of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and its Impact on Dental Caries: A Narrative Review

This review aimed at understanding the current knowledge available regarding the effect of sugar taxation on dental caries by searching PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus with relevant keywords and findings are discussed.

The impact of sugar-sweetened beverages tax on oral health-related outcomes: a systematic review of the current evidence.

While no empirical studies are available to support the benefits of an SSB tax, the studies covered in this review altogether anticipate a positive impact.

High sugar intake from sugar‐sweetened beverages is associated with prevalence of untreated decay in US adults: NHANES 2013–2016

Community level interventions directed at sugar from SSBs are justified to address disparities in the burden of untreated dental decay.

Trajectories of Sugar Consumption and Dental Caries in Early Childhood

There is an association between the trajectory of sugar consumption and dental caries at 48 mo, and children with increasing and always high sugar consumption have the highest prevalence of caries.

A narrative review of the effects of sugar-sweetened beverages on human health: A key global health issue.

This rapid narrative review brings together some of the key issues identified in the literature around the consumption of SSBs, including patterns of consumption, the general impact on human health and nutrition, specific effects on oral health and the oral microbiome, and strategies to address over-consumption.

Modelling health and economic impact of nutrition interventions: a systematic review.

Evaluating existing models to estimate the health and/or economic impact of nutrition interventions with a focus on reducing salt and sugar intake and increasing vitamin D, iron, and folate/folic acid intake finds a substantial need for more guidance and standardization for future modelling.

The impact of a sugar-sweetened beverages tax on oral health and costs of dental care in Australia

The total and per-person consequences of SSB tax were considerable, both in terms of dental caries averted and dental care avoided, and these results have to be compounded with the implications of SSBs tax for other aspects of health and health care, especially in the context of chronic diseases.

Modelled health benefits of a sugar-sweetened beverage tax across different socioeconomic groups in Australia: A cost-effectiveness and equity analysis

This study demonstrates that from a 20% tax on SSBs, the most HALYs gained and healthcare costs saved would accrue to the most disadvantaged quintiles in Australia, whilst those in more disadvantaged areas would pay more SSB tax.

Intended and unintended consequences of a proposed national tax on sugar-sweetened beverages to combat the U.S. obesity problem.

Monthly data derived from the Nielsen Homescan Panel for calendar years 1998 through 2003 are used to estimate the effects of a proposed tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). Most arguments in…

The Shape of the Dose-Response Relationship between Sugars and Caries in Adults

A linear dose-response relationship between sugars and caries is suggested, with amount of intake being more important than frequency of ingestion and daily use of fluoride toothpaste reducing but not eliminating the association between amount of sugars intake and dental caries.

Effect on Caries of Restricting Sugars Intake

There is evidence of moderate quality showing that caries is lower when free-sugars intake is < 10% E, and with the < 5% E cut-off, a significant relationship was observed, but the evidence was judged to be of very low quality.

Beverage purchases from stores in Mexico under the excise tax on sugar sweetened beverages: observational study

The tax on sugar sweetened beverages was associated with reductions in purchases of taxed beverages and increases in purchasesOf course, continued monitoring is needed to understand purchases longer term, potential substitutions, and health implications.

Global-, Regional-, and Country-Level Economic Impacts of Dental Diseases in 2015

Severe tooth loss was found to imply 67% of global productivity losses due to dental diseases, followed by severe periodontitis and untreated caries, and improvements in population oral health may be highly beneficial and could contribute to further increases in people's well-being given available resources.

Qualitative analysis of reader comments to online news coverage of one proposal for an SSB tax in the UK suggests efforts could usefully focus on emphasising the social and environmental determinants of diet and obesity.
