Yes, though some types are worse than others. Acids dissolve tooth enamel, and that can lead to cavities.
Canned or bottled iced tea and lemon-lime drinks dissolved enamel fastest; colas were less damaging. Diet drinks were no better than full-kilojoules ones.
No need to give up on soft drinks. Drink them with means; (food helps absorb acid) or in one sitting (sipping all day bathes teeth in acid). Swishing with water after every drink helps too.
