Does soda really damage your teeth?

Question

I am diong expierament with chiken bone do you think it is the same with chicken bone?

Answer 1

If you don't brush, yes. Common additives include food-safe acids to give it that little kick, and the abundance of sugars (in today's sodas the sweeteners are mainly high fructoce corn syrup [hfcs]) can start to erode the layers of your teeth. Hfcs contains sugar, but is more of a syrup texture. I think that chicken bones may start to deteriorate, but not by too much. Carbonation, just a theory, keep that in mind, may also have some effect, the bombardment of a substance with carbon dioxide bubbles constantly popping may have the effect of tiny explosions almost (on that scale though, maybe more like M-80s on concrete).

I hope I helped!

Answer 2

I use coca cola to dissolve the gunk off of my engine in my car to keep it clean. Now if it can dissolve gunk off of an engine I think it is safe to say it damages teeth. also. my daughter never never drank any soda until she was 5 years old and then only once in a great while while her cousins drank it all the time from the time they were old enough to eat solid food. The each have a mouth full of cavities and my daughter, age 14 is still cavity free. By the way that is the only diff between, my child eats lots of candy and all 4 of these children brush their teeth 2 times a day, the only diff is the time they were introduced to soda and how much they drink.

Answer 3

Soft drinks are often based on flavored carbonated water.

Carbonated water is reputed to be good for removing stains, for example coffee stains from mugs, or stains from silver. It is said that red wine stains can be prevented from setting by sprinkling table salt on the stain and then applying liberal amounts of carbonated water.

Seltzer water was once commonly sold in small bottles with a metal handle on the side to control the dispensing of the contents. Since the carbonation in the water pressurizes the seltzer bottle, the liquid is propelled out as a stream. These bottles, along with the cream pie, became a common slapstick comedy prop favored by clowns, vaudeville performers, and The Three Stooges.

Answer 4

Flat coke in your TOILET bowl will remove calcium stains left by hard water!
Eons ago when I was in high school someone every year did a science fair project showing the effects of cola on a human tooth (which dissolved in the liquid in DAYS!).
I worked with a woman who drank so much cola she had to have her teeth cleaned every six months because they were stained light brown! (She didn't drink coffee or tea which can also stain your teeth.)
So, in short: YES! Really!

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Yes it can. If you drank alot of soda and weren't good about brushing your teeth it can start cavities to form. I saw this one patient who did just that and his teeth were a mess of cavities.
As long as you don't drink alot of soda during the day and brush your teeth regularly it shouldn't be a problem.
