Why Does Coca-Cola Acid damage your teeth?
There are two damaging forces at work in carbonated soft drinks (pop). One is the sugar which can feed the bacteria (caries) in dental plaque. The other is the combination of carbonic acid and phosphoric acid, which can damage enamel. (Concentrated forms of this combination are used to etch glass!) Fortunately, tooth enamel can be protected by regular brushing and flossing, especially before bedtime. The bacteria that cause tooth decay must compete for food with the normal bacteria in the mouth, and can be temporarily decimated by ordinary mouthwash. In the case of children, fluoride can strengthen the enamel and limit the damage by acids, either those in foods or those secreted by bacteria.
