If you think you're sparing your teeth harm by drinking sugar-free diet soda, think again. Studies show that both regular and diet sodas are as damaging to tooth enamel as battery acid.
Cola has the potential to erode tooth enamel 10 times stronger than equally or more sugary fruit juices because of the citric or phosphoric acid it contains. Non-colas are less acidic than colas, but they actually corrode teeth more effectively.
The Academy of General Dentistry urges people to avoid all acidic soft drinks, but if you're unwilling to give up soda, it is recommended that you drink it through a straw to minimize exposure to teeth.
To have your teeth checked for cavities please give Dr. Tau at the Pennsylvania Center For Dental Excellence a call at 215 969 4400 or visit our website at www.pcde.com
