Frequent sipping of beverages that are sweet or acidic, such as regular and diet soft drinks, juice, sports drinks – even tea and coffee – can be harmful to your teeth. Acidic drinks can attack your tooth enamel which makes your teeth more vulnerable to cavities and chipping. Try to brush your teeth or drink a big glass of water after consuming these sweet or acidic drinks to reduce the risk of dental problems.

Smile and Say Cheese!

Cheddar cheese is one of Mother Nature’s most effective cavity fighters. After you indulge in a sweet snack, have a bite or two of cheese, right away. Sweet foods raise the acid levels in your mouth, dissolving tooth enamel and causing cavities. The cheese will stimulate your mouth to produce saliva, which neutralizes the acids in the sugar and protects your teeth from the cavity-producing attack. The calcium in the cheese may also give you the added bonus of strengthening your tooth enamel. Cheese has always been a nutritious, tasty snack – now it’s good for your smile, too.
