A recent study suggests that all these delightfully tangy sugar free drinks that are everywhere are actually ruining our teeth - so I set out to find out how bad this really is and figure out some solutions. Enjoy!

The medical websites say it's bad to brush right after drinking acidic, because the enamel is soft and brushing will strip it off, so they say to wait for the acid to dissolve out of the enamel before brushing.
Of course when it comes to health you're damned if you do, etc, because they also advise drinking lemonade to prevent kidney stones.
Going to have to give the alkaline water trick a try! Thank you !
I was drinking died coke for years and I had very serious problems with my teeth my dentist told me to stop drinking it because the chemicals in this beverage were causing this issue so I stopped drinking died coke and my dental issues are much better,
Did you compare sugar-free vs the same drink in full sugar? I don't understand why sugar free would be especially more acidic than the regular version
Carbonation increases acidity as a result of carbonic acid formation. Any carbonated beverage will be acidic.
no.
I recently started the fluoride rinse routine after having a tooth extracted. I'm very encouraged to hear how well it worked. It's a bonus that it'll help guard against my LaCroix habit too!
My solution is to just use a straw. If you use a straw to drink sugar-free acidic drinks, you can bypass your teeth completely.
Very interesting and useful
By the way, rinsing with water also helps against tea stains. Just another lifehack…
Fran, You can reduce the cafastol in coffee by filtering coffee through an unbleached paper filter. The pour-over coffee method is great! Or, even a simple auto-drip with a paper filter.
