Is Sparkling Water Ruining Your Teeth?

  • 7 years ago
Fizzy, flavored sparkling waters may not be as healthy as perceived. Both the added flavors and carbonation are acidic and may lead to tooth enamel erosion. Dr. Edmond R. Hewlett, a spokesperson for the American Dental Association, advises to consume it with meals and drink in moderation, while avoiding contact with your teeth. These seltzers are a less acidic option than soda, but may still make you more susceptible to cavities.
