Are You Putting Acid On Your Teeth?

Probabllemon teethy not, but your sodas are nearly as bad.

Acid damages tooth enamel. Acid is measured by “ph.” The ph of battery acid is 1.0. The ph of water is 7.0 (alkaline). Sodas range from 2.387 to 4.038 ph, with root beer having the least amount of acid. Citric acid is the most erosive acid found in soft drinks and is the predominant acid in non cola drinks like root beer, sports drinks and citric juices.

LIKE SUCKING LEMONS. What you may not realize is that over time, wearing of the enamel, which is that hard outer surface layer of your teeth, can lead to some pretty uncomfortable sensitivity to hot and cold. Also, it may force you to have to invest in veneers and other procedures to restore your smile.
