It's not just how much sugar — it's how often. Lily, our LS ToothBuddy, explains how snacking and sipping affect your teeth, and simple ways to enjoy treats more safely, in under a minute.
Here's What's Going On
Sugar and acid are what feed tooth decay, but here's the surprising part.
How often you snack matters even more than how much you eat at once.
Every sip of a sweet drink starts a fresh acid attack that lasts around half an hour.
Sipping and snacking all day means the teeth never get a break to recover.
Rinse with water after treats, and wait a while before brushing after acidic food.
