Why cant i drink soda when i have braces?!


Question: My Dentist told me that i couldnt drink soda, because it is carbonated, she said i couldnt drink any carbonated drinks because it does something to my gums. Is it a load of crap or Im really not suppose to drink that?

Because when you have braces and drink soda is stains your teeth. So when you get your braces off you will see that some of your teeth has decayed. So if I were you I wouldnt drink coke, mr. pib, any dark sodas. If you like sprite, sierra mist, water, any thing light I would try and drink that. But me, I am just sticking to water. I want my teeth to look good when I get them off which is next month January 22nd! I hope this advice helps! ~ Merry Christmas and ~ good luck!

Soda really is bad for you.Just google some of the weird uses for coke{Cleaning toilets for one,dissolving teeth for two}

Well I'm an assistant and I can just tell you that you can drink it sometimes.

But really if you drink too much of it, it will slow down the process of you're teeth moving and make you're gums harder too cooperate with you're teeth moving and braces.

i dont really know... but my friend had braces and she could have soda so thats really weird it couldnt be cuz you have braces, maybe its cuz of something else... maybe you have something wrong with your gums i dont know... but i hope i can be some help but i doubt it, but i tried :)

all crap.Drink as much as you want.

Unsweetened root beer is so little carbonated, I can't see it causing a problem. Check it out.

thats CRAP, drink and eat what ever you want, nothing happens.

just don't get fat

well if your teeth are well taken care of, then your dentist doesnt know exactly what he/she is talking about saying that you cant have it, unless for healthful purpose reasons regarding only your mouth.

because you can drink carbonated soda, its recommended that you dont drink dark-colored sodas if you have braces. but you can. just dont drink pop like coke, pepsi, or dr. pepper, that stains your teeth. i drank pop when i had braces, like sprite, all the light colored drinks.

you should have asked her exactly what it does do to your gums....give your dentist a call and ask them...better to have the right information than what you would get here..

i drink it all the time even though ive got braces
