How does soda rot your teeth?

Answer 1

Soda is a tasty soft drink that most Americans drink at least twelve times a month, soda has many sugars and chemicals in it that rot the protective casing on our teeth called "the weird stuff covering your teeth". Although I do not have the answer, Try finfing someone who does! HAHA!!! >:0)

whoever wrote the first letter is a freak and obviously dosent know anything at all so hahaha! the correct answer is what ia am about to tell you soda tends to rot teeth because it erodes the enamel covering the tooth wich is made up of pulp dentin cementum and attachment tissue.

cencerly the person who knows more than the one before

Answer 2

Sugars and high fructose corn syrup used to sweeten soda can stain teeth(turning it to yellow or brown). The sugar in soda combine with bacteria in the mouth and forms an acid. This acid attaches the tooth and weakens it and can cause decay.

Also, the caffeine can do the same thing so it is definitely better to use water instead of Coca Cola.

Answer 3

The sugar in sodas directly decays your teeth. Switching to a sugar free soda is a good alternative. All soda is also acidic, so it wears down tooth enamel. Try using a straw so it doesn't come into contact with your teeth and brush as soon after drinking.

Answer 4

In two ways, firstly the natural acidity of the soda. The second is the sugar in the soda, this is broken down by bacteria in your mouth which produces more acid! Its this that breaks down the enamel and decays your teeth... SO BRUSH THEM!

Answer 5

Soda itself is very acidic. Between the bacteria feeding on the sugar and creating acid, every time you sip, soda starts an acid attack that lasts about 20 minutes. These ongoing acid attacks weaken the tooth enamel. This leads to an increased chance of, you guessed it, tooth decay.

Answer 6

The acid inside the coke can rot your teeth.. drink a lot of water, try to stay away from the cokes :) lol

Answer 7

Actually acidic beverages like mt. dew and mellow yellow cause more tooth decay because of the acid not just sugar like coke

Answer 8

Soda doesn't decay teeth but it causes an acid environment in the mouth which facilitates the decay of teeth by Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus.

Answer 9

Soda erodes enamel on teeth because of the acids and sugars from the soda!

Answer 10

The acidic properties in mainly citric acids break away at the tooth enamel causing the teeth to loose their whiteness.
