Root Beer: The Lesser Evil
The definition of “soda” is “teeth destroyer,” so what category does root beer fall under? General Dentistry says it’s not carbonated, nor does it contain the acids that harm teeth.
When it comes down to it, only good can come from cutting soft drinks out of your diet. As for dental erosion, root beer is more on the safe side. Drinks that contain citric acid (Sprite, Squirt, etc.) and phosphoric acids (Diet drinks) are the worst for your teeth.
