Saved by a Straw.

Kids love fizzy soft drinks. But these treats can play havoc with their teeth as the sugars and acids attack the enamel. The exact damage depends on how you drink: if you swig from the can , letting it pool at the back of your mouth, then your molars get it, if you sip through your front teeth then they suffer.

US scientists have decided that the safest way to drink the stuff is through a straw into the back of the mouth , minimizing the length of time it’s in contact with your teeth. It’s also a good idea to rinse your mouth with water afterwards.
