I’ll seriously never understand the need for a sippy straw.

[-] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

The only, ONLY person I asked who had a rational reason for their straw usage was in a bid to protect his teeth from acids in soda and juices.

That being said, I can only look back to college years, but he had GREAT teeth.

I'm closer to 40 than 30, and well, I need a lot of dental work I can't afford.

Maybe he was on to something.

My response would be to reevaluate soda and juices.

That would have a much more profound impact on your oral health. Probably your overall health too.

I just skip soda alltogether..or any sugary drinks 95% of the time

Edit: why i actually wanted to comment - my teeth stil suck

Genetics also play a lot when it's about dental health and longevity. Base-level dental health is negatively correlated to bone health for whatever reason, also if you have fragile nails you're more likely will experience bad teeth in your later life regardless of how much you brush, floss, etc.

I have nails like wolverine but bad teeth. Blah.

Me neither, but I learned that :

  • kids really like it, you can bubble and stuff,

  • it is useful when you drink from a can cause the border can be soiled (by rat piss or other tasty stuff, by the way if you drink from a can you should always wipe it with a cloth or clean with water before putting your mouth on it),

  • a guy I know who can't use his hands, so his only way to drink without help is with a straw
