A member asked:
What makes root beer less harmful to tooth enamel than other sodas?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Questionable: It is the sugar in the soda that is harmful to tooth enamel. There is no reason for root beer to be any less harmful than other sugary drinks.

Nothing: It is the sugar and acidity of all sodas including root beer that is harmful.

I dipped my wet toothbrush into a pile of dry baking soda and then brushed my teeth with it. I later learned how abrasive baking soda is. I did it once. Do I likely have permanent enamel damage from this? Anything I can do to reverse damage? Thankyou?
