Soda does not directly add plaque to your teeth after drinking it. However, soda contains high amounts of sugar, and when bacteria in your mouth feed on the sugar, they produce acids that can contribute to the formation of plaque. Additionally, soda does not completely rinse the excess food from teeth, leading to a higher likelihood of plaque formation.
Furthermore, soda can also contribute to tooth enamel erosion. The acids present in soda, such as phosphoric acid and citric acid, can slowly wear away the protective enamel layer on your teeth, making them more susceptible to cavities and sensitivity.
While the sugar in soda does contribute to its negative impact on dental health, the statement that it has too many Calories is not directly related to its effects on teeth.
