Where does your favorite drink land on the acidity

Where does your favorite drink land on the acidity scale? Soft drink consumption is one of several leading causes of tooth decay. Carbonation, sugar, and acids in soft drinks weaken tooth enamel and encourage the growth of bacteria that contribute to tooth decay.

How Tooth Decay Starts:
• Sugar in soda combines with bacteria in your mouth to form acid
• This acid, plus the extra acid from soft drinks, attacks the teeth. Each acid attack lasts about 20 minutes, and acid attacks start over again with every sip
• Ongoing acid attacks weaken tooth enamel
• Cavities begin when tooth enamel is damaged
• Remember, diet or “sugar-free” soda still has acid that can harm your teeth. Although fruit drinks are not carbonated like soda, they too have acid and sugar that can cause decay.

Choose Health. Drink Water.
