Its not necessarily the "fizzy drinks" that destroy enamel on the teeth, but the sugar from those drinks that bacteria feed on. The bacteria excrete a substance that is their "byproduct" from digesting the sugar. It is this substance that erodes the teeth. Brushing removes the suger (food for bacteria, since bacteria always come back) and prevents the bacteria from producing this substance (too much anyway), thus keeping you from having a mouth looking like a handful of dice. Not only that, this byproduct stinks, bad breath is not good. Make your dentist proud, and your love ones happy; Brush your teeth.

Does not brushing your teeth after drinking coke help your teeth?
You should try to avoid brushing your teeth straight after drinking coke (and soft drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks and juices) as these have a lot of acid in them with softens the enamel of your teeth. Rinse with water after drinking something acidic and wait 20-30 mins before brushing. Brushing too soon will wear off the softened enamel. However, not brushing at all will leave all of that acid (and sugar) in your mouth for much longer which puts your teeth at risk for wearing down and getting decay. The best idea is to limit the amount of acidic drinks you have. And if you do have them, try to have with a meal, instead of sipping for 20mins (or longer). Long-term acid (and sugar) in your mouth only results in harm for your teeth. Look after your teeth. Dentures are no fun.
