Drinking a drink is like soaking your teeth in acid

'we call this kind of rotten tooth caused by drinking beverage & lsquo; Cola tooth & rsquo;', doctors explained that most drinks, especially carbonated drinks, usually have a pH value between 2.2-4.9, while the enamel on the tooth surface has a dissolution threshold of 5. If the teeth are immersed in acid water for a long time, they will corrode and dissolve slowly. There are about 17 cubes of sugar in a bottle of coke. When bacteria in the mouth encounter high sugar, they will also ferment to produce acid, which will lead to demineralization and dissolution of enamel.

Doctors warn that you should never brush your teeth immediately after drinking carbonated drinks. After the teeth are soaked in acid water, they will form many tiny pores and the hardness will decrease. At this time, brushing will cause secondary damage to them. The right way is to rinse your mouth with water and brush your teeth half an hour later. (this article is exclusively compiled by WYH, editor of sihai.com.
