fizzy drinks -teeth and gums

[ally___pally]

today I noticed my gums were looking thin and a bit sore , do you think this could be from drinking loads more fizzy drinks ?? (diet of course ) and it's only
my front two teeth.

I can't think what else it could e because I brush twice daily and thoroughly , don't smoke and hardly eat sweets ?


hmmm

Could possibly be. I'm weaning myself off diet fizz . Have you tried drinking through a straw instead as this could help?

@ Kelly,, thats a very good idea.. im trying to get off diet orange at the minute and start drinking loads of water... Think i've a few straws at home left over from the kids parties!!! lol

can do but you should probably give your dentist a call as there could be underlying issues x

My dentist lectured my sister and myself about the perils of drinking too much diet coke as it does damage to the teeth. We're limited to one can a day now.

Our dentist also said to drink it through a straw to minimise damage (as X Keely X advises) so that the fizz doesn't hit the front of the teeth straight away. I have to confess I don't do that, however I've cut the coke consumption.

Diet fizzy drinks and squashes are not good for all of your body. The sweetner is not good and damaging.

I was doing so well, no fizzy diet drinks since xmas and last thursday i had one with my allocated syns chinese, now i have had 4 more in a week!!!!

again going to ban them from my house and having nothing to do with them the aspartame is horrendous in them!
