Apparently sparkling water is bad for your teeth but can clean stains, is it true?

[Cutesy_kid_lol]

Just wanted to know if it’s true or not :)))

[madhatters4]

if it is just sparkling water, as in CO2 has been added, then it shouldn't hurt your teeth at all. i also don't know how likely it is to clean teeth

but if it's seltzer or club soda, it can hurt teeth cause there are sugars or other things added that can promote tooth decay

Food is “bad” for your teeth. That’s why fluoride toothpaste is good. And flossing, which I need to do more.

Also, I learned about an ancient Hindu hygiene thing: Scrubbing your tongue or scraping your tongue. There are tongue scrapers on Amazon. I just use my toothbrush. The Hindus used to do it until the tongue bled.

I just do ot until the pain gets a bit too harsh. But never had better breath.

Carbon Dioxide stored in sparkling water has pH 3-4 like orange juice. However due warmth and saliva in mouth carbon dioxide gets released quickly from sparkling water and it loses its acidity.
Sparkling water isn't dangerous for teeth, even though strong acids like undiluted vinegar or ascorbic acid can weaken enamel by longer contact. However healthy enamel remineralizes and repairs itself.

Not sure about the stains part but as for teeth no. The bubbly carbohydrates aren't going to hurt your teeth much. 🦷

Not sure about stains, could be... but laundry detergent is totally capable of dealing with stains anyway.

But teeth are not effected by little bubbles of CO2 in the water.

Bad for your teeth? It has minerals and does not decay them.

Complete nonsense. Sparkling water is healthier because it stays anti-bacterial longer.

Sparkling water is just water with CO2 in it. I don't see how that would harm your teeth.

Sounds very wrong. Who told you that?

Water is good for teeth, the mouth being dry or too acidic is bad for teeth.

[KC-Sunbeam]

How in the world could it be bad for your teeth?

[Louise393]

Absolutely not sparkling water is fine for your teeth! I drink like 6 cans of Coca Cola a day and my teeth are fine so I’m sure sparkling water is ok !

[Anonymous]

[jahaims]
