The fizziness itself has no significant effect on teeth. However the sugars commonly found in most fizzy drinks (except club soda, for instance) does promote the growth of organisms in the mouth that promote tooth decay.

Soft drinks are today's trend or much better, you can call them 'fashion' especially among the youth. Do you know that this colorful liquid does not do a bit good to you? Instead, they add up dangerous toxins to your body.

Tooth Decay: All soft drinks are acidic which corrodes the teeth by eroding its enamel. The high amount of sugar consumed through soft drinks lead to the development of bacteria that attack the teeth thus aggravating dental problems. People who drink three or more glasses of aerated drinks (gaseous drinks) daily have much higher chances of dental decay, fillings and teeth loss. Therefore, soft drinks contain acid and sugar that corrode and destroy the teeth in one shot.

Obesity: Soft drinks are mainly composed of filtered H2O, artificial additives and refined sugar. Thus, they lack nutritional value and only add up calories through their refined sugar; therefore, they make you gain weight. But is shifting to "Diet Soft Drink" the solution? The fact is that diet soft drinks contain Aspartame (an artificial low-calorie sweetener). Although aspartame does not add up the calories it makes you feel hungrier and crave for food. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) no longer allows foods containing aspartame to be labeled as "weight reduction product ". Now it insists to label these products simply as "Diet Drink" or "Diet Food ". Research also shows that aspartame causes migraines, dizziness and more over it reduces your memory.

The answer is "not a lot".

Fizzy drinks are mildly acidic whereas, your stomach is very acidic. So they don't do very much. They certainly don't damage you stomach.

Two significant things do happen.

1. The sugars dissolved in them are broken down into glucose, for digesting later (in the intestine)

2. The change in dilution, temperature and acidity allows some of the dissolved carbon dioxide gas to escape back up the oesophagus, causing you to burp.

- an increase of the acidity in stomach

- degradation of teeth enamel

But these effects are extremely small for a normal person.

Are fizzy drinks fizzy in space?

Fizzy drinks are not fizzy in space as there is no oxygen to fizz the bubbles. The fizz in fizzy drinks is carbon dioxide coming out. In a vacuum the liquid would "boil" because of the water vapour coming out, and would probably freeze because of all the heat removed with it. Oxygen plays no role in this at all.
