Subject: The Sugary Truth About Sweet Drinks
Even dentists have to admit — sugar is delicious! We love a good, sweet treat as much as anyone else. But, there’s an entire category of sweet treats that many people indulge in every day without realizing the damage they can do to their teeth.
We’re talking sweet drinks — pop, juice, energy drinks, fancy coffees, lemonade, iced tea, and anything else sugary, sweet, or syrupy.
When sugar in every sweet sip mixes with bacteria in your mouth, it launches an acid attack on your teeth that can lead to cavities. For a sweet, easy to digest version of what happens in your mouth when you drink sugary drinks, visit: https://www.smilemichigan.com/the-smile-connection/the-sugary-truth/
We recommend you watch the adorable, catchy video. Go ahead and share it with your friends, especially those who love to sip on sweet drinks!
Sincerely,

Dentists say it because it’s true, “sugar isn’t so sweet for your teeth.” But candy isn’t the only source of sneaky sugars. Pop, juice, energy drinks, and fancy coffees are all guilty too. So, if you do sip on something sweet, make it a once in a while treat.

Sweet drinks are not so sweet when every sip launches a sugar and acid attack on your teeth. For the sake of your smile, cut down on sweet drinks and swap in water instead. Watch out for diet pop and sugar-free options, as many are just as acidic as the sweet stuff.

Here’s the not-so-sweet truth: the sugar in your drink is all the same to your teeth, whether it’s from pop, juice, energy drinks, or fancy coffee orders. Every sweetened sip launches a sugar and acid attack on your teeth, which can lead to cavities.

Do the sweet drink swish after every sugary sip. Follow sweet and acidic drinks — like coffee, juice, and pop — with a nice swish and sip of water. A little refreshing rinse helps prevent cavities and keeps teeth happy.

All that acid and sugar in pop isn’t so sweet for your teeth. Not when every sip launches an acid attack that can lead to cavities! For happier, healthier teeth, limit sugary drinks and their diet replacements which are often just as acidic as the sweet stuff. #healthyteeth #oralhealth

Sweet tip: if you crave a sugary drink like juice or pop, have it with a meal. Eating healthy foods while you sip on the sweet stuff makes it easier on your teeth. Also, end your meal with a big sip of water, and your smile will thank you. #healthyteeth

Even dentists love a sweet treat every now and then. Candy, cupcakes, and ice cream aren’t the only things that count. Pop, lemonade, juice, hot chocolate, and gourmet coffee are all treats too. With every sip, they launch an acid attack on your teeth! So, if you must sip, make it a special once in a while treat.

If you have a drink before bed — pop, juice, tea with honey, hot chocolate — be sure to brush your teeth when you’re done. Even if you already brushed before you sipped, brush again afterward. Every sweet sip counts when it comes to the health of your mouth.

We all know plastic straws are terrible for the planet, but did you know that reusable and compostable straws can save your teeth from acid attacks? When you drink something sweet or acidic (hello, iced coffee, juice, and diet-pop fans) use a sustainable straw. Sip carefully to limit exposing teeth to your beverages and don’t forget to compost your paper straws!
