Carbonated water does not damage tooth enamel

Carbonated water does not damage tooth enamel

All those who until now were in a dilemma whether carbonated mineral water is healthy and whether there is any danger from consuming it, can breathe easy.

According to a study, carbonated water is not harmful to health.

Besides the fact that our body absorbs minerals more easily from water than from food, mineral waters also have healing properties depending on the composition and amount of minerals they contain.

Does carbonated water damage tooth enamel and cause cavities?

Tooth decay is caused by bacteria, and 99 percent of bacteria are killed by an acidic environment. Food for bacteria is sugars and carbohydrates.

 

Carbonated water with a pH of 3.5 is an environment that kills bacteria and is useful for rinsing the mouth and gums. That's why it's good to drink a glass or two of sparkling water after a meal.

Doctors say that sparkling water is just as healthy as plain water and that the only important thing is to drink enough water every day to meet your hydration needs.
