In honor of Dental Awareness Day (I know, I'm excited about it, too), taking place tomorrow, August 4th, I am including a link about the poison know as "soda." If you absolutely must drink one, then sip it through a straw and rinse your mouth with water afterwards. DON'T brush immediately after as your teeth are in a vulnerable state from the acidity of the soda and whose enamel will be harmed.
Everything in moderation:
"Enjoying an occasional soft drink in moderation will likely not cause significant damage," says Dr. Bassiouny. "However, substituting these beverages as a replacement for water may cause significant, irreversible long-term problems and damage."
