Despite concerns, research suggests sparkling water is generally safe for your teeth. A study comparing the effects of sparkling water and regular water on tooth enamel found no significant difference in their impact.

Tips for Enjoying Sparkling Water and Protecting Your Teeth:

1. Choose Sparkling Water Over Sugary Drinks: Sparkling water is less harmful than sugary beverages.

2. Drink Regular Fluoridated Water: This helps fight cavities, washes away food particles, and prevents dry mouth.

3. Be Cautious with Citrus-Flavored Waters: These have higher acid levels, so enjoy them in one sitting or with meals to reduce prolonged exposure.

4. Avoid Added Sugars: Sparkling water with added sugar is no longer just water and can increase the risk of cavities. Plain water remains the best choice for your teeth.
