Smart Tips for Healthy Teeth
- • Brush your teeth morning and evening with a fluoride toothpaste.
- • Take extra fluoride through tablets, chewing gum or rinsing.
- • Let the teeth rest between meals.
- • Avoid sugary snacks and fizzy drinks.
- • Water quenches thirst best.
- • Only one candy day of the week is a good rule.
Soft drinks erode your teeth
About 85 liters of soft drinks is consumed annually per person, * see below. Studies show that 10-40 percent of children and adolescents have dental corrosion, burns caused by acid substances. Acidity is measured in pH. Everything below 7 is acidic. At 5.5 pH begins tooth enamel to dissolve. Caustic injury can cause erosion and pitting of the teeth.

Some examples of common beverages acidity measured in pH:
Lemonade, soft drinks: pH 2,6
Cola: pH 2,6
Juice: pH 3,5
Sports drinks:
pH 3,2
Water: 7,2 
To avoid chemical burn injuries
- • Choose foods and beverages that do not contain as much acidic substances.
- • If you drink soft drinks - drink it all at once. It's better than a sip now and then.
- • A smart tip - drink water instead!
- • Avoid brushing teeth immediately after eating or drinking anything acidic. The acid dissolves the enamel and allows it to be damaged by brushing. Rinse mouth with water and wait an hour to brush your teeth. The same applies with vomiting.
