You are correct to be concerned, apple cider is highly acidic and even drinking through a straw can still predispose you to an acidic episode. First of all rinse with plain water after drinking. You might find this link useful: https://drneilmcleod.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Acid-Erosion.pdf

Use a water PIK after drinking the juice and or brush teeth. The juice is highly acidic and if left on teeth will cause erosion and cavities. Also rinsing with H2O2 reduces the acid content of the apple cider vinegar.
