I have had a fc come with rotten teeth too. It takes forever to get them into a pediatric dentist to have them out. It is best to have them pulled so they don't damage the permanent teeth (the rot can extend through infection). I would work to pull any and all strings I could if I were you.
Unfortunately the soda, even diet, may be making the pain worse. The carbonation can hurt.
My son went though this as a result of VERY soft teeth, an uniformed mom (me) and a LOT of antibiotics at a young age (almost constant from birth due to constant ear infections). We pulled them before he started crying about the pain - at age 2 1/2. And we also put tubes in his ears so he wouldn't damage his permanent teeth with more antibiotics. His teeth grew back in about age 5-6 and they look great now at age 17 next week.
One note, you may also need to consider speech therapy at the appropriate time so he learns how to speak without his front teeth. It's a challenge, but doable.
Good luck.
