Most people know soda and juice have sugar — but what’s more damaging is how you drink them. Sipping slowly all day is like giving your teeth a constant acid bath.
❌ What Happens When You Sip All Day
Constant acid attack – Every sip lowers your mouth’s pH, softening enamel.
Sugar feeds bacteria – Plaque bacteria love sugar, producing acids that cause cavities.
Double trouble – Even sugar-free sodas are acidic enough to erode enamel.
✅ Better Habits
Drink in one sitting – Finish your soda or juice in one go instead of nursing it.
Rinse with water after – Swish water around to neutralize acids.
Use a straw – Keeps liquid off your teeth.
Limit to meals – Enjoy soda or juice with food instead of as an all-day drink.
