Witch is worse for your teeth? Orange juice or soda?

Orange Juice.\n\n\nOrange juice, though a great source of calcium and vitamin C, is usually FULL of sugar.  And the average person over drinks OJ.  A cup and a half of orange juice is all that you really should drink at any time.  Additionally, some of the most popular OJ drinks, are more "fruit punch" than actual oranges.\n\nDiet sodas don't usually do that much damage, especially since now they make some diet sodas with Splenda.  Yet, regular soda, can be more damaging with all the caffeine.\n\nIn the end, too much sugar will ruin your teeth faster than caffeine.  Water is your body's best friend.

They wouldn't work after being in orange juice.  The acidity would eat them away too much.  Too bad, Grandma!

People's digestive system is not actually set up to process milk very well. Although you get a good dose of calcium and vitamin D from milk, you can get these things from other sources, without running your system down. Milk and milk products can enhance allergies and intolerances to food and other outside stimuli, and increase mucus production. I don't know if orange juice is 'better' per se, because the vitamins it provides are completely different. I can say your body processes it easier, it gives you a bunch of vitamins, if the juice doesn't have sugary additives it isn't as fattening, and it doesn't have all the nasty side effects that milk can have, (whether you notice them or not... in fact you probably wouldn't notice them unless you cut milk out of your diet and then tried putting it back in). So I guess my vote is Orange Juice.

Brush your teeth twice a day also see a dentist about a special teeth whightener. Drinks lots of milk. That way your teeth will get whiter and stronger. But you are right about baking soda. There is a special kind of tooth paste dentists use that is made with baking soda. It taste nasty but it works. Try to get your hands on some.

Fizzy drinks (carbonated beverages) are produced by injecting carbon dioxide into the drink, causing the formation of acids, this acid can damage the coating of some tablets, this coating is meant for the content of this tablet to be released only inside the stomach, so the contents of the tablets may be released before reaching the stomach, which MAY cause problems, anyway fizzy drinks can harm teeth as well, destrying their coating ,"This research identifies fizzy drink as by far the biggest factor in causing dental erosion among teenagers," said Dr Peter Rock, of Birmingham University. \n\n"Drinking fizzy drinks only once a day was found to significantly increase a child's chances of suffering dental erosion," he added. \n\nDrinking four or more glasses of fizzy drinks a day raises a 12-year-old's chances of suffering from tooth erosion by 252 percent. Heavy consumption in 14-year-olds increased the risk to 513 percent, according to research published in The British Dental Journal. \n\nUnlike tooth decay, which results from high levels of sugar, erosion is caused by acidic substances in the drinks. Even diet versions are harmful

YES!!!! It still has phosphoric acid in it which is the main cause of demineralization of a tooth (decay process).  If the soda has sugar in it then the sugar takes over in the demineralization process in the areas that the acid did prior.  I have seen so many people, esp kids w/ a lot of decay inbetweeen their teeth from soda...any kind!! Gaterade and Kool-Aid are other big no gos when it comes to teeth

THIS IS EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY!YOU ARE IN TAKING AROUND 3OOO CALORIES! EVEN IF YOU ARE DRINKING DIET THE SUGAR THAT IS USED IN DIET SODAS HAS BEEN LINKED TO CANCER! ONLY DRINK THE DIET SODAS THAT ARE SWEETENED WITH SPLENDA. ALONG WITH THESE HEALTH RISKS THERE IS THE FACT THAT YOUR TEETH ARE GOING TO BE HORRIBLY DAMAGED FROM ALL OF THE SUGAR. THE RESULTS OF THE THE DAMAGE DEPEND ON WHAT SODA YOU ARE DRINKING (COKE, PEPSI AND MOUNTAIN DEW ARE THE MOST DAMAGING AS THEY ARE THE MOST ACIDIC AND CONTAIN MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF SUGAR). SINCE YOU ARE DRINKING PEPSI ONE THAT HAS VERY FEW CALORIES BUT STILL HURTS YOUR TEETH. GRAPE SODA HAS A TON OF SUGAR IN IT AND IS ALSO VERY ACIDIC

Try brushing with frozen strawberries (no i am not kidding).  Also use baking soda on your toothbrush, on your regular toothpaste at least once a day and give up coffee, teas and things that stain your teeth or brush immediately after or chew Trident whitening gum after.

Better to avoid either.  High doses of refined sugar can lead to obesity and diabetes.  Artifical sweeteners lead to liver, kidney, stomach, circulatory system and mucous membrane problems. Pick your disease!\n\nI suggest you drink low doses of real sugar pop because won't harm your body as much.  Remember that coke has phosphoric acid, a powerful inorganic acid that if consumed in quantities can give you the ulcer of a lifetime, believe me, been there.

Yes, it erodes tooth enamel. (usually citrus fruit)\nSaliva usually neutralizes the acid. So just don't over do the fruit juices.  Also don't brush your teeth right after you have orange juice or any acidic fruit!\nThe enamel is softened by the acid and you can cause more damage with a tooth brush. Just rinse your mouth with water if your worried about it. Wait about 1/2 an hour or longer before you brush.

diet sodas have really really bad compounds in them like aspartame which can cause cancer and stuff like that. diet soda is diet cuz of its artificial sweeteners, which are much worse than consuming sugar. if you eat too much artificial sweeteners, they are really bad for you

yes, i do it at least once a year it works wonders. you will feel so much better and sometimes it can be scary. i never had any of those disgusting things that i saw on the site. but believe me you will be cleaned.... do it... it will also help other elements in your body....getting rid of all the toxins will clear up other medical problems that you may have....and GOD as my witness...it helped with some of my cellulite....trust me i was smooth everywhere. with more energy than i ever had.  don't be shy we are all human...we all need help some times...i am not shy about anything...if i know it and can help i will. most people don't know no matter what you have done , there are years of backed up stuff there(sorry if this is to real,but gotta let you all know...it could save your lives) it's the same like well.. brushing your teeth...we all do our best but sometimes you still got to see the dentist ...\n at first you will feel like crap for the first 2 or 3 days. that's cause all those toxins are moving around stirring up stuff. but you will notice the difference soon after that. it is worth every penny....  the fiber drink, you better get a taste for...i drink it with orange juice...my B/F and I have a drinking contest to finish first...it's not something you want swishing around your taste buds...they won't like it. but yes...it's the thing to do. plus when you are finish with that... you can try a tea called Smooth Move for when those days you may need it. i give it a thumbs up. you only do it until the meds are gone and that should be enough.

Neither.  It's digusting.  It smells horrible, it makes your clothes stink, and your teeth yellow.  I don't see any advantages to it.  But hey, to each it's own.

That baking soda toothpaste is the best one.  (Arm&hammers)  Also, be sure to floss and use listerine mouthwash before brushing twice a day at least.  You could use just regular baking soda too instead of toothpaste once a day.  Just baking soda is supposed to be great for your tooth enamel.  It sounds weird, but I've tried it and still do it. No problems with my teeth, and always get compliments from my dentist.:)  Try it.
