☀️ HOT WEATHER = STAY HYDRATED… BUT CHOOSE YOUR DRINKS WISELY 🦷💧
With the warm weather finally arriving in the UK, it’s more important than ever to stay hydrated. Our advice? Try to make **water your drink of choice** whenever possible.
Many fizzy drinks (including sugar-free versions), sports drinks and flavoured sparkling waters can be acidic and may gradually weaken the enamel (the outer protective layer of the teeth).
Over time this can lead to:
🦷 Tooth decay (caries)
🦷 Increased sensitivity to cold and sweet foods
🦷 Visible cosmetic changes such as enamel wear and loss of shine
🦷 Higher risk of staining and surface defects
If you do enjoy fizzy drinks:
✔️ Keep them to mealtimes
✔️ Avoid sipping throughout the day
✔️ Rinse with water afterwards
✔️ Wait at least 30 minutes before brushing
Your smile will thank you later ✨
