Soda: Enamel’s Worst Enemy!

Soft Drinks are No Good For Good Teeth

The sugar and acid in soda attach to the tooth and cause decay and loss of tooth structure! Soda is so dangerous for your teeth that having it other than at meal-time is likely cause for concern. However, if you really want a cold soda, be sure to have it with a meal and if at all possible have diet instead of regular. If you want a great substitute try carbonated water, perhaps with some lemon. They are comparable in price (if not cheaper) and even the flavored waters have considerably less sugar than regular soda! With this in mind, I have almost completely eliminated sodas from my diet.
