Hidden Acids in Some of Your Favorite Drinks

Posted on 7/12/2021 by Office

Acids are in everything we eat and drink, but some foods and drinks are worse than others for our dental health.

With so many hidden acids in our drinks, we can really do only a few things outside of being mindful about them. For starters, drink more normal water—not sparkling or flavored. You should be drinking water consistently throughout the day, so you should realistically never be thirsty or have a dry mouth. When we do choose to drink one of these, we should consider drinking them through straws to lower the time they are in our mouths. Further, we can set a timer, and after 30 minutes, we can brush our teeth to help remove the sugars and acids which might still be in them. There are a lot of hidden acids in the world we live in; if you'd like some guidance or have dental questions, give our office a call....
