The Outer layer of the teeth — is the hardest tissue in the body. It consists of a mineral called hydroxyapatite, which contains calcium and phosphate. Saliva consists primarily water but also contains calcium and phosphate. Usually there is a balance of the minerals in the saliva and the minerals of the teeth. Overall, in the mouth the pH ranges from 6 to 7, but when it falls below 5.5, the molecules of calcium and phosphate leave the teeth and into the saliva. This process can also happen because of carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages. Such demineralization can damage tooth enamel, gradually dissolving it. But if people often drink carbonated drinks, not even water, there is a risk of wear or erosion of the teeth. Thus, regular soda better for your teeth than flavoured fizzy drinks (whether diet or ).
