As you sip away on your favorite summer drink, it's good to be aware of a few important facts:
🍋Try to avoid drinks that are high in sugar and/or acid. Sugar feeds harmful, cavity-causing bacteria, and acid wears away at tooth enamel. The combination of both sugar and acid in some drinks can be especially harmful to your teeth.
🍋If you decide to treat yourself with a summer drink like lemonade (one that's both sugary and acidic), it's best to avoid sipping altogether. When you sip these drinks, you're repeatedly bathing your mouth in sugar and acid.
