Answers:

Well, if you are not in pain and the cavities are not large and near the nerve, two months won't kill you. You should get rid of the soda altogether because sugar in the soda is turned to acid by cavity causing germs which melts your teeth. Then there is acid as a preservative in soda so even diet soda melts your teeth. Candy, gum, mints are all possible sources of sugar. Once you start getting cavities, it doesn't take a lot to keep the process rolling and new cavities from forming so you should eliminate it for a while and stop feeding the "sugar bugs" as we call them to our children patients.
