Why is soda considered bad for your teeth, particularly if you do not brush regularly?

1 answer

Soda is bad for your teeth because it contains high levels of sugar and acid. The sugar in soda can cause bacteria to grow in your mouth, which can lead to tooth decay. The acid in soda can also erode the enamel on your teeth, making them more vulnerable to decay. If you do not brush regularly, the sugar and acid can remain on your teeth for longer periods of time, increasing the risk of tooth decay.
