Besides what kid is going to give up his tooth to a teacher when it MUST be given to the tooth fairy for $$$.

When I was an RDH, we used to soak the dental instruments in straight Coke to remove the rust. I believe it is the phosphoric acid in Coke and Pepsi that does the trick. Phosphoric acid also destroys your bones.

My apologies! It appears my teacher may have deceived the class about coke dissolving a tooth based on Snopes and a few other sites I checked. She must have had an agenda! (Perhaps the tooth fairy removed the tooth from the glass of coke in the middle of the night.)

Yes, I believe you are correct. Many years ago a dental hygienist told me it's the phosphoric acid that does the damage, regardless of whether it's a diet soda or not. I would think sugary soda is even worse because bacteria love it.
