Does coke mess up your teeth?

Yes. Coca-Cola is a carbonated beverage that contains phosphoric acid, which can damage teeth. The acid in soda dissolves the minerals in teeth, making them weaker and more vulnerable to decay. In addition, the sugar in soda can feed the bacteria that cause cavities.

Drinking Coca-Cola on a regular basis can significantly increase your risk of developing tooth decay. If you enjoy drinking Coca-Cola, there are a few things you can do to protect your teeth:

- Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.

- Rinse your mouth with water after drinking Coca-Cola.

- Avoid drinking Coca-Cola sugary between meals.

- Drink Coca-Cola through a straw so the soda doesn't come into contact with your teeth.

- Chew sugar-free gum after drinking Coca-Cola. This can help neutralize the acid in the soda and protect teeth from decay.
