Is soda water bad for you?

AFTERTHOUGHT

Sometimes rather bad dentists do POST crowns without root filling first. This is bad, as putting a post into a nerve canal WILL cause problems if the nerve is not removed first. This could be what you were refering to?

unfortunately, the crown did not fit at all so i guess that didn't help to keep the tooth alive.

It is acidic, and mixed with the fruit juice will form an excellent cocktail for erroding tooth enamel.

Yes that would do it!

People often ask what is the difference between an NHS crown at £60 and a private one at £300+ . I answer less than a tenth of a mm. But that 10th makes ALL the difference!

A post crown is done when there is not enough of the tooth above gum level to attach a crown to. So a metal, or these days snazzy carbon fibre (Private!) posts are put down into the remaining root to support the crown.

They work well for several years, but the roots can be prone to fracturing (more so with metal posts) and a fractured root can only then be extracted - there's nothing more you can do.

Probably not quite as bad as fruit juice, but yes, it will do some damage.

Depends how much & how often!!
