Flavored water can help you drink more water, but some add-ins are harder on your tooth enamel than others.
✅ SMILE-FRIENDLY PICKS
🥒 Cucumber and mint
🍉 Watermelon
🫐 Blueberries
🍓 Strawberries and basil
🌿 Fresh herbs like rosemary
⚠️ SIP WITH CARE
🍋 Lemon, lime and orange: citrus is acidic and can wear down enamel over time
🫧 Sparkling water: the carbonation adds a bit of acid
🍬 Flavor drops and drink mixes: many contain hidden sugar or citric acid
💡 DR. PRUITT’S TIPS
👉 Drink citrus water with meals instead of sipping it all day
👉 Use a straw to keep acids off your teeth
👉 Rinse with plain water afterward
👉 Wait 30 minutes before you brush after acidic drinks
