Fizzy drinks
Fizzy drinks are addictive and many people drink them on a daily basis, thinking it’s totally fine.
Not only are these calorific, sugary drinks bad for your general health, they’re a nightmare for your teeth.
Dr Khaira explained: “Fizzy drinks will be more damaging to enamel due to their low pH which will cause a greater erosive effect.”
When your enamel is worn down, more dentin is exposed and the teeth may appear yellow.
Cracks and chips may form and you might notice the edges of your teeth becoming more rough, irregular, and jagged as enamel erodes.
High sugar drinks
High sugar drinks such as artificial juices, squash and smoothies also lower the pH in the mouth, starting the process of tooth decay.
Dr Khaira said: “The bacteria in your mouth live on sugar, so sipping on sweet drinks offers that bacteria plenty of fuel to thrive.”
Just like fizzy drinks, the more enamel is eroded the more yellow your teeth look and the less healthy they are.
