When choosing a drink, help to protect your teeth and reduce decay by following these tips:
– from Dawn K. (Business Team)
- Drink soft drinks in moderation.
- Don’t sip for extended periods of time. Ongoing sipping prolongs sugar and acid attacks on your teeth.
- Never drink pop or juice right before bedtime. The liquid pools in your mouth, coating your tongue and teeth with sugar and acid.
- Consider using a straw to reduce the sugar contact with your teeth.
- Chew sugarless gum after drinking soft drinks to stimulate saliva production.
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Water has no sugar, acid, or calories.
- And, as always, remember to have regular dental exams and cleanings to remove plaque.
