Tip from Dr. Lavin
Sugar-free sports drinks, lemon water or carbonated water does not always correlate to cavity prevention! The acidity (pH) of the beverage can play a vital role in creating an oral environment where cavity-causing bacteria thrive, starting the demineralization process leading to cavities. Everything in moderation is key.
