Here’s How Soda is Killing Your Teeth Softly [INFOGRAPHIC]

Remember all the times you lied to promised your dentist that you were definitely going to start flossing, bathe your mouth in fluoride, and absolutely, 100% for sure stop drinking soda . . . only to grab a large Coke the next time you hit the McDonald’s drive thru? Cause let’s be real: Coke is delicious, your teeth have always been there, and if they can handle jawbreakers and super tough beef jerky, surely they can handle a few cups of soda . . . right? Yeah, no, apparently not. Turns out that you might as well be punching yourself in the mouth every time you take a sip of soda (especially dark sodas like Coke) because the damage you’re doing to your teeth is less of a small-scale disagreement and more of a full-artillery assault on your enamel. And brushing your teeth right after you drink soda only makes it worse.

Check this infographic compiled by the teeth crusaders over at Biltmore Commons Dental for more information on the ways that soda is destroying your teeth, and some tips to avoid toothlessness while still enjoying your favorite carbonated beverages. Because compromise is always the answer.
