Soft drinks, soda, pop. No matter what you call it, it seems to currently be the dietary villain of choice. Today, we are going to give you yet another essential reason to avoid this popular drink. For dental health in Pearland, soda delivers a double punch of damage with two of its ingredients, sugar and phosphoric acid.
How Does Soda Affect Dental Health in Pearland?
Sugar is harmful to your teeth primarily because it softens enamel and makes the teeth more prone to cavities. This is especially harmful to kids because their enamel is not fully developed. Some men and women think that they can avoid troubles because they opt for diet soda. Unfortunately, the acids found in diet soda have basically the same detrimental softening effect on enamel. Soda consumption can also bring about teeth staining.

Our recommendation is simple, stop drinking soda or greatly lessen your soda drinking to improve your dental health in Pearland. Also, keep your children away from soda as much as possible so that their teeth have the chance to mature healthily. Can’t kick the habit? Try to drink water immediately after you have soda and brush more but wait a half hour so the enamel isn’t brushed while it is soft.
