Water is the best option for your teeth, while fizzy drinks like soda are very bad due to high sugar and
acid content, which erodes enamel and causes cavities. If you are having problems with your teeth due
to soda remember to check in with your family dentists so they can run a check over your teeth to ensure
everything is normal. Plain, unflavoured sparkling water is much better alternative to soda, though it is
slightly more acidic than regular water, so it’s best to drink in moderation and rinse with water afterward.
Avoid sweetened sparkling water, and be cautious with flavoured versions, especially those with citrus,
as additives can increase acidity and pose risks to your enamel. Remember plain, unfluoridated water
should be your primary beverage. Water helps neutralize acid, rinse away food and bacteria, and keeps
your mouth from getting dry, while soda introduces sugar and acid that promote tooth decay and cavities.
