📆IT'S FIZZ FREE FEB WEEK 1 – THE ACID ATTACK

🥤Can you give up fizzy drinks this month? Take the challenge. Skip the fizz. Protect your smile 😁

It’s not just sugar — it’s the acid.

Every time you drink a fizzy drink, acid attacks your teeth 🦷

This softens the tooth enamel and makes it easier for decay to start.

Tooth enamel softens within minutes of drinking fizz
Repeated acid attacks = erosion (wearing away of tooth enamel), sensitivity, tooth decay
Saliva is your mouths natural defence and helps wash away the acid
🤔Which is more acidic?

Cola or orange juice?

Energy drink or sports drink?

Diet fizzy drink or sugary one?

(Answer: They’re all acidic — diet doesn’t mean safe for teeth!)
