What Goes Through Your Mouth Has Strong Impact On Your Teeth
A study has shown that drinking coca cola, leads to more rapid tooth decay that any of the other sodas that were tested. It is not only because of the sugar; but also because of the phosphoric used as acidulates. It is the same acid dentists use for etching the enamel prior to the insertion of a composite filling. Phosphoric acid corrodes the surface of the enamel, clearing the way for the microorganisms. If you are concerned about decay-causing acid that is present in the soda, there are some ways to reduce your teeth from the exposure of this acid. Just as an example, drinking your sodas with the use of straw, it limits the sugar that goes directly to your teeth. You can also drink your soda together with meals, saliva production stimulated by the food, can create a buffer and dilute the acidic effects of soda. You can also brush your teeth after your soda intake, which will also limit the exposure of the acid from the soda.
We can protect our teeth from the harmful foods that we are eating, just by simply being clean. Cleaning your mouth as often as possible, will help to protect your teeth from decaying. You can also prevent your teeth from being destroyed by simply avoiding the foods that may be too harsh on the teeth.
