Sparkling water and its relationship to tooth decay

Some try to avoid the artificial sweeteners and calories in soda and switch to sparkling water to benefit their health. Soda and sparkling water have something in common which is carbonation. Carbonation causes mild acid erosion that can weaken tooth enamel potentially contributing to tooth decay. To benefit your overall health we recommend “plain” water.
