When the temperature rises and the humidity hits, there is nothing quite like a refreshing drink by the pool. But what if that same beverage was the downfall of your oral health<\/a>? What if it was the reason you ended up spending a portion of your time off at your dentist\u2019s office instead of relaxing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many patients are unaware that their summer activities can lead to fall cavities, which can be devastating for several reasons. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 you can keep reading to learn five drinks that can harm your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Wine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re attending a cookout with friends or having a relaxing evening at home, you may be tempted to indulge in a glass or two of wine. Sadly, both the red and white varieties can damage your teeth. While white wine is more acidic, red wine is more likely to leave behind unsightly discoloration. Therefore, it\u2019s best to use a straw or simply opt for water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Soda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fizzy sodas are especially refreshing during the summertime. Unfortunately, they are still just as bad for your teeth. Not only is this beverage capable of turning your once-white teeth yellow, but they are also jam-packed with sugar. In fact, a single can may have 39 grams! Since sugar is one of the biggest culprits of cavities, it\u2019s best to pass on this sweet treat altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Coffee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creamy cold brews and delicious iced coffees are summer staples. Luckily, you don\u2019t have to give these up for the sake of your oral health. Just make sure to keep the cream and sugar to a minimum. Of course, using a straw is still a good habit to get into. That way, your teeth stay nice and white all summer long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Fruit Juices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sodas are well-known for their high sugar content, but many patients are unaware that fruit juices often contain just as much! So, make sure to read the label on lemonades, strawberry punches, and other fruit juices. If they are a summer staple you simply can\u2019t pass on, try sipping on water simultaneously and brush your teeth about 30 minutes after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Sports\/Energy Drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you love playing pickup frisbee at the park or need a little pep in your step to make it through your list of to-dos, you may find yourself reaching for a sports or energy drink. Again, these beverages are often filled with tons of sugar, increasing your chances of tooth decay. To stay hydrated while keeping your teeth in tip-top shape, opt for a cool glass of water instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pool days, picnics at the park, and BBQs at home are just a few common summer pastimes. To enjoy them to the fullest without compromising your beautiful smile, make sure to steer clear of the above drinks this season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
