Soda Drinkers: An Important Quiz

Posted by Dental Centre of Conroe

Do you know whether your soda drinking is safe for your smile, bad for your smile, or extremely dangerous for your smile? If giving up this bubbly beverage isn’t an option, do you know what to do to help protect your teeth and oral health? If you’re not quite sure how much you know (but you have a feeling you’re probably missing some important details), we suggest you go ahead and gather up additional facts with a soda quiz!

Quiz Questions: True or False?

  1. True or False: If you drink soda, you’re probably going to end up with some amount of damage to your oral health. This can come in the form of decay, acid erosion, staining, or all of the above.
  2. True or False: Unfortunately, diet soda isn’t any better than regular soda. It can still cause all of the same issues that you can expect from the sugar-filled variety.
  3. True or False: It’s best to rinse your mouth out with water after you drink soda. This will limit the damage that occurs because it rinses your teeth clean and will help neutralize your mouth.

Quiz Answers

  1. True. Soda is not a good beverage to choose when you’re protecting your oral health. Unfortunately, it truly will lead to all manner of issues, from eroding dental tissue to discoloring your smile and causing decay.
  2. True. Soda is very acidic and often filled with food coloring. As a result, either diet or sugar-filled can cause your smile a variety of oral health and cosmetic problems that you can avoid by simply skipping the beverage all together.
