coke etc will destroy your teeth, if not cleaned off regularly.

( don't "ask me how i know" ! )

> if not cleaned off regularly.

Just rinse it off with water?

  • It's an acid, which softens your enamel. You should ideally rinse with something that remineralizes the enamel, i.e. flouride.

    • I've been drinking loads of coke Zero (up to 3 liters a day, these days it's about 2 liters), and my teeth are fine. I'm 40 and have been drinking it for most of my life, it started when I was about 16, with regular coke back then. Maybe I'm lucky.
