drinking soda can have many negative impacts on your health especially with your teeth. soda contains citric and/or phosphoric acid that can wear down tooth enamel. when tooth enamel wears down tooth decay cavities and teeth staining can occur. sugar may also contribute to this but the acid alone seems to do most of the damage so even diet sodas aren’t immune to this problem. also be sure to read nutrition labels for other beverages that you might be consuming like sports and energy drinks because they may also contain the same acids and act in a similar manner. one suggestion that may help would be to drink from a straw positioned towards the back of your mouth so that it can limit contact with your teeth. it’s best to at least moderate consumption of these beverages if not refrain from drinking them altogether for these and many other health reasons.
