    straws are better for your teeth when drinking soda

        Me when it’s time to see the dentist. Straws do protect your teeth from a lot of the damage the soda would do. Even the citric acid in diet sodas and other drinks can wear down your enamel. I think you can want to enjoy soda while still trying to keep your teeth attached to your head.

          tbh if you’re drinking soda often enough where straws are the reason your teeth don’t fall out, I don’t think the health of your teeth is the biggest concern.

            Yeah, that would be a problem, but It was also hyperbole. It doesn’t take much soda to damage your teeth though.

      If you’re drinking enough soda that the way in which you consume it concerns you and your dental health, you have a problem.
