I just had a young lady in my office who has experienced extensive damage to her teeth from excessive soda consumption.  She admits sipping Mt Dew almost all day at her place of employment.     She has extensive decay on many teeth and is faced with the immediate prospect of several root canals on her front six teeth due to the extent of damage.     Constant bathing of the teeth with soda pop is so damaging.  One 12 ounce can of soda contains between 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar.  Acids in the soda begin to dissolve your tooth enamel in only 20 minutes.  Even  sugar free or diet soda contains acid that can damage your teeth.  If you must drink soda, have it with a meal, but work on not constant sipping.
