Harm soda to tooth enamel

May 10, 2022

Enamel is the hardest tissue in the body. But such a thing as soda easily destroys it. How does the carbon dioxide in these drinks damage teeth? Usually the minerals of teeth and saliva are in balance with each other. Mouth and saliva usually have a pH of 6 to 7, but once soda gets on your teeth, it drops below five and a half, calcium and phosphate molecules begin to leach out of your teeth and end up in your saliva. And this is fraught with caries. Exit - drink through a straw.
