Can drinking soda make your gums recede?!

Question: soda is an acid and acids can cause recession. however, recession is more often caused by periodontal disease where bacteria infiltrate the bone that house our teeth. the bacteria destroys the bone and the gums follow the bone down.

the other common thing to cause recession is hard brushing. use a soft bristle brush, pushing gently against teeth, for two minutes. the harder you brush doesn't mean cleaner. if you brush for two minutes and floss before hand you should get it all regardless how hard you brush.
