Soda
High sugar and acid content make for a bad combination for your
teeth. Frequent soda drinking will essentially "bathe" your teeth in
sugar and can lead to dental decay. Additionally, increased acid
exposure works to erode tooth enamel and can lead to teeth sensitivity.
If you must drink soda, lessen the frequency and opt for the healthier
thirst-quencher, water. Also, minimize the erosion of enamel by rinsing
with water after your teeth have been exposed to acidic beverages. Try
sipping acidic drinks through a straw to avoid contact with the teeth.
Finally, wait at least 30 minutes before brushing with a soft toothbrush
after acid exposure to avoid further breakdown and wear of your enamel.
