Though some types are worse than others. Soft drinks acids dissolve tooth enamel, and that can lead to cavities. To find out the worst beverages, American scientists exposed enamel to 15 drinks.
Canned or bottled iced tea and lemon-lime sodas dissolved enamel fastest; root beer was least damaging. Colas fell in the middle. And diet drinks were no better than full-calorie ones.
No need to give up on fizzy drinks. Just drink them with meals [food helps absorb acid] or in one sitting [sipping them all day constantly bathes teeth in acid]. Rinsing your mouth with water after every drink helps too.
