Soda (sweet soft drinks) do not decay teeth unless one fails to brush and floss. So the decaying of teeth is caused not by sugar per se, but by poor dental hygiene.

On the other hand, if you do not consume sucrose (table sugar) at all, then it's unlikely that you'll develop cavities in your teeth, whether you brush and floss or not.

The likelihood of developing cavities in the teeth (assuming you don't brush and floss), all other things being equal, would be proportional to the amount of sugar in the beverage.

(I'm not going to delete the answer above but add onto it.)

Soda by itself doesn't decay your teeth, but the sugar within does. When sugar enters your mouth, your bacteria turns it into acid. This acid decays the enamel on your tooth over time. Brushing your teeth will help, but will not get rid of it completely. This all can lead to a cavity, overall tooth decay, or the decay of a dental nerve. (which is painfull!)

A lot of other things have sugar in them, not just soda, but many sugary soft drinks are main contributors. Citric acids in Oranges and lemons can contribute, too.p this is not really true because all pops are bad for you so this should not be on hear is a LIE
