Soda - A Tooth's Worst Enemy
Did you know that soda is a smile's worst enemy?
Plaque bacteria within our mouths digest the sugar in
soda to produce a dilute acid. It is this acid which eats
into tooth enamel to create cavities.
But if that wasn't bad enough, soda in of
itself, is slightly acidic causing problems for teeth. In
fact, if you were to drop a tooth into a glass of soda,
over time, the tooth would completely
dissolve!
If you must drink soda, we sugest using a straw
as this allows less contact between the soda and our
teeth as we drink.
