Lemonade or sweets causing tooth problems

I'm not sure if this is placed in the correct topic?  My problem is that whenever I drink something sweet like lemonade or eat sweets my teeth automatically produce plague but at such a faster rate and they start to feel gritty, sore if I was to bite down there is pain and it seems that my gums too are affected.  It only happens when I drink or eat sweet things.  

It's so hard to describe what I'm wanting to.  If I brush my teeth the feelings are almost gone but I still see a lot of plague and was wondering why it would be that those things especially sweetened drinks trigger this over active plague producing what ever it is thing?  Is there such a thing as over active plague?

If I stick to water I'm ok. I also know that I grind my teeth during sleep have done for the last 35 years, I have sarcoidosis and was wondering if this could be in relation to that? the Sarcoidosis is in my lungs so I don't know, it's very annoying especially since I can't really explain what it is that is happening :o(

now i see your question. I read it and dont really have an answer other than that what you are describing is  probably NOT plaque, as plaque tends to build up from food sources not sweet drinks. Plaque also takes a whle to build up---not just a few minutes. I doubt the sarcoidosis has anything to do with it but I am not an expert in that field so I cant say for sure. What I would do is see a dentist when this "film" is present and get an opinion from someone who can actually see it. perhaps, since the buildup happens quickly, you can even demonstrate the issue in the office.

Hi, plaque forms on your teeth no matter what, whether you eat, drink  or not. Plaque is basically the poo of bacteria. Your mouth will always have bacteria.

Make sure you brush a day and Floss! It is important to clean In between your teeth. Mouth washes do NOT do this.

Try using an electric tooth brush. They can brush 100 times faster than your manual brush and they don't apply too much pressure resulting in toothbrush abraision.

Make sure you don't brush your teeth straight after you or drink. Wait for about 40 minutes. the surface of your teeth will be very acidic. Your saliva will remineralise the surfacesof your teeth. So be patient.

twice a day*
Also try to limit the amount of acidic foods and drinks you have. Don't use cocacola as a mouth wash (many people swirl  it around their mouth) It is highly acidic.

Chocolate is better than eating sweets as it doesn't sit in your mouth for long. It melts. Hard boiled sweets are sucked....and sucked.. the sugar is lining your teeth for alot longer.
