Stop drinking carbonated drinks!

[cat_mioux]

They'll wreck your teef!

Visited my dentist this morning for a check up and I asked him why just the gums above my top teeth were red and inflamed. It turns out all the mineral water (I thought it was good for me 😐 )I drink every day, even during the night, contains acid or something. I was drinking up to litre a day. The same goes for juice too and of course soft drinks.

It's just plain water for me now.  :_|

my dentist said Coke contain phosphoric ACID and people who drink it may as well chuck $5 notes out the window.

Why $5?

I knew Coke was bad and I never drink it.

But who would have though carbonated water was bad for your teeth? 😮

I read this yesterday.  

I rarely drink any fizzy drinks ... I find them way too salty ... check the sodium content on the label ...

$5 or $50......same difference!

I can't believe any person over 5 years old does NOT know that fizzy drinks, bottled juice etc rots your teeth.

If he continues drinking carbonated drinks the enamel will erode away. My dentist said I had the beginnings of it. A non-dentist person won't notice the enamel eroding slowly.

So far so good....................I think he is just lucky.
