I heard Dean Edell on the radio mention something about 5% of the
tooth decays when placed in a jar of soda.
How does this translate to real life? Our teeth are not continually
immersed in soda.
And which component of the soda causes the tooth in the jar to decay?
And does it apply to diet soda as well as regular soda? |

Cummulative effect of how long the teeth are exposed to soda at a time.

The 3-5 acids which are blended together in the soda pop.

Yes, the acid is still there. |
