Drink Water!The simplest way to protect your teeth is to drink water instead of soda. Both bottled water and tap water are healthier options than soda, and they will both save you money too! Water does not contain the acids or sugars that degrade your teeth.

Don't Sip All DayBy drinking soda slowly throughout the day, you are prolonging the amount of time these sugars and acids are in contact with your teeth. The quicker you drink, the less damage the soda will do to your teeth. Drinking through a straw will also help limit contact with your teeth.

Wait to Brush Your TeethIt might seem counterintuitive, but brushing your teeth right after drinking soda will actually cause more damage to your teeth because your plaque is weaker. It is still important to brush and floss after a few hours to keep your teeth clean.
