Just a side note on the acid is bad for teeth. For those worried about the health of their teeth in this regard, drink a lot of colas, coffee and the like, I found a tooth paste available on Amazon called APAGUARD m-plus. It’s a Japanese tooth paste that includes nano hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. It works a bit like fluoride in helping to seal the small holes (tubes) and cracks in the enamel but also seem to help rebuild both the enamel and dentine of the teeth. It will also help with bones but if your gums are healthy probably doesn’t ever reach that level.
From what I have been able to find, this was developed by NASA to help rebuild the skeletal integrity of astronauts returning to earth. It’s also used as a coating for joining artificial joints with the natural bone.
I’ve been using it for about a year now and it seems to work well for me. The key factor for me was that other “sensitive” teeth tooth pastes my dentist has recommended seem to rely on including a mile pain killer as actually solving the problem. m-plus doesn’t list anything as a pain relief component (on Amazon but the labels are all in Japanese which I don’t read.)

I’ve been using the Boka brand of nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste.
It has a pain killer: methylsulfonylmethane.
I’m using it because it seems safer than flouride, but I don’t have much evidence, and I wasn’t trying to solve any specific problem with it.
