Today is National Drinking Straw Day! But did you know that there are oral health benefits of drinking through a straw!
Everyone wants a healthy smile, and one fundamental way to obtain that is drinking beverages that are not water in moderation. While you work to cut down on soda and juice, straws can help curb how much acid or sugar comes in contact with your teeth.
Did you know the enamel on our teeth have pores? That means dark drinks like sodas, fruit juice, and cocktails can cause your teeth to stain. Drinking through a straw allows the beverages to make less contact with your teeth, decreasing discoloration chances.
Also, the bacteria in your mouth use sugar to cause tooth decay, leading to cavities! That’s why using a straw is better because it can decrease how often those sugars touch the teeth, potentially controlling the risk of decay and cavities.
