Let's talk about the worst drinks for your teeth. These drinks can dissolve the enamel around your teeth and give you cavities.

Soda is roughly 2.4 on the pH scale, meaning it's very acidic. Acidity contributes to the breakdown of minerals in your teeth. But, we also have to take into account how long your teeth are exposed to the acids. For example, if you have lemon water or coffee for a short period, this isn't as bad as drinking it all day long.

Another factor to consider is your own saliva. Your saliva is an important factor in buffering acids and reducing bacteria in your mouth.

Bacteria can change the pH in your mouth, making it more acidic. Bacteria are typically at the root of the cause of tooth demineralization. Carbohydrates and sugar indirectly make your mouth very acidic because they feed bacteria that produce acidic byproducts.

The worst thing you can drink for your teeth is something with acid and sugar, such as juice, soda, and sports drinks.

We also have to look at this issue from a different perspective. If someone has diabetes or insulin resistance, they have a chronic level of high blood glucose. This glucose can come into the teeth through the roots.

If we look at the gums, they require vitamin C, and when someone chronically exposes their mouth to sugar, the body won't absorb vitamin C. Gingivitis and bleeding, or swollen gums are big symptoms of a vitamin C deficiency.

If you're on a low-carb diet, you don't need to be concerned about drinking lemon juice or apple cider vinegar diluted in water. But, using a straw and flushing out your mouth after can also help if you're concerned.
