If you took an extracted tooth and dropped it in a can of soda, it would dissolve in about ten days. This is because most sodas have a very high sugar content (sugar free is available). Something else to consider is that some sodas have added citric or ascorbic acid. In addition, they put the bubbles in soda by blowing carbon dioxide into the solution. Carbon dioxide and water make carbonic acid (a mild solution).
You can think of your soft drink as a sugary solution laced with acid, or an acidic solution laced with sugar - either one is very bad for your teeth. Read the ingredients - if you can find something you like that is sugar free with no bubbles - you should be home free!
