The pH of Drinks and Your Teeth

The pH of what you drink

455 drinks and foods and how acidic each one is. Enamel starts to dissolve below about pH 5.5, and a great deal of what people drink all day sits well under it.

Find your drinkWhat the number means

What It Means

Lower is more acidic.

pH runs from 0 to 14. Seven is neutral — tap water sits near it. Below about 5.5, enamel begins to lose mineral, which is why the bottom of these lists matters more than the top.

  • Frequency beats volumeOne glass with a meal is a single acid exposure. The same glass sipped over three hours is a three hour one, and that is the pattern that wears teeth.
  • Do not brush straight afterEnamel is softened for a while afterwards. Rinse with water, wait, then brush.
  • Sugar free is not acid freeDiet sodas and zero-sugar sports drinks sit in the same part of this list as the full-sugar versions. The acid is the point of the flavour.
  • A straw helps, a littleIt keeps some of the drink off the front teeth. It does not change what the drink is.

The Tables

455 of them, 13 lists.
