Lemon Water:

A Sour Surprise for Teeth

Lemon water is refreshing, but its acidity can erode enamel, leading to tooth sensitivity and decay over time. Enjoy it in moderation and rinse with plain water afterward to protect your teeth.

Soda: More Than Just Sugar Trouble

Soda is notorious for its sugar, but the acid harms teeth most. Phosphoric and citric acids can erode enamel, increasing the risk of cavities. Opt for water or milk to keep your smile healthy.

Dried Fruit: Sticky and Sneaky

Dried fruits are sticky and can cling to teeth, promoting decay. They are high in sugar and can be as harmful as candy. Brush and floss after eating to prevent cavities.

Sports Drinks: Not So Sporty for Your Smile

Sports drinks are marketed as healthy, but are often acidic and sugary. This combination can erode enamel and lead to cavities. Choose water to hydrate without harming your teeth.

Ice: A Chilly Threat to Your Teeth

Chewing ice might seem harmless, but it can chip or crack teeth and wear down enamel over time. If you crave crunch, try carrots or apples instead to protect your smile.
