  • OK, as a registered dental hygienist, I just can't let this post go without commenting. Besides the obvious points already made about MD addiction....most people don't know that ANY carbonated drink is hard on your teeth. It changes the pH of the mouth to a very acidic environment. and it takes a minimum of 20 minutes for…
