Some of the drinks we know and love can literally erode our teeth.
According to a study from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, dental erosion can be subtle and hard to spot at first. Over time, too much of the wrong beverages erodes the enamel, leaving our teeth thinner, more sensitive and more vulnerable. Among the biggest dental offenders are soft drinks, fruit and sports drinks, some herbal teas, lime-flavored beer and seltzer fruit drinks. All of these drinks are acidic and will eat away at your pearly whites.
If you do drink any of these corrosive beverages, you’re better off using a straw. Be sure NOT to brush your teeth right after drinking, that just compounds the problem. DO rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash with fluoride.
