Whats wrong with drinking soda pop?
There are several medical reasons to reduce the quantity of soda you’re consuming. From a dental standpoint, soda can be very damaging to the teeth because of the acids it contains. Acid dissolves the enamel on the teeth. Bacteria convert sugars and starches into acids that cause tooth decay, but the acid in soda and other foods can cause the enamel to simply melt off the teeth. I see this regularly in my practice. There is no harm in enjoying an occasional soda with a meal, but avoid sipping on soda pop all day long. The long term exposure of the teeth to the acid causes severe damage that is both time-consuming and expensive to repair.
