Yes, but root beer contains the least amount of phosphoric acid of all sodas. One brand of root beer, A&W, produces a root beer that does not contain phosphoric acid though so if you have and intolerance, A&W would be the brand for you.
Many people incorrectly assume that root beer is the worst soda for your teeth because it tends to contain more sugars vs. other sodas. However, colas and citrus based sodas contain way more acid, which contributes to teeth decay more than sugar does.
