Sparkling Water, Bad <\/span>For<\/span> Your Teeth?<\/span><\/p>\n

Popular drinks are becoming sugar-free sparkling water.\u00a0 Switching from sugar-sweetened sodas and juices to this water is obviously a great change.\u00a0 The adverse effects that sugary drinks cause to the teeth are well-known, so waves of people seem to be making the switch to sparking water and other sugar-free fizzy drinks.\u00a0 According to the USA Today report, 574 million gallons of sparking water were sold in 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is assumed that sparkling water is a healthy choice for your diet but there are those out there that say it is not as great as it seems. \u00a0And then what about the teeth?\u00a0 Is this sparkling water bad for your teeth?\u00a0 Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soda and the Teeth<\/span><\/p>\n

Sugary sodas pack a huge punch against your teeth.\u00a0 They are full of sugar, which leads to tooth decay and cavities plus most carbonated drinks are higher in acidity.\u00a0 Acidic foods and drinks are more likely to contribute to tooth erosion than non-acidic foods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because soda has a negative effect on the teeth, the ADA recommends choosing other beverages.\u00a0 The beverages recommended are water, <\/span>milk,<\/span> and unsweetened sparkling water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sparking Water and the Teeth<\/span><\/p>\n

Sparkling water doesn\u2019t contain sugar, but it is carbonated.\u00a0 There have been a few studies that have examined the acidity of various drinks, and this includes sparkling water.\u00a0 One of these studies was published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.\u00a0 This study measured the pH of almost 400 beverages.\u00a0 The drinks were a mixture of sweetened sodas, sports drinks, juices, <\/span>teas,<\/span> and sparkling water.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Family Dentist in Mobile AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The scientists who performed this study ranked the <\/span>erosiveness<\/span> of drinks based on their pH levels.\u00a0 Drinks that had a pH under 3.0 were labeled as \u201cextremely erosive\u201d.\u00a0 Drinks that <\/span>have<\/span> a pH between 3.0 and 3.99 were \u201cerosive\u201d and any drink with a pH above 4.0 was \u201cminimally erosive\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>The majority of sports<\/span>\u00a0drinks were rated as extremely erosive.\u00a0 Certain sparking waters were ranked as minimally erosive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another researcher at McGill University conducted a similar study.\u00a0 She tested the pH of nine different brands of sparkling water.\u00a0 She tested the drinks at refrigerator temperature and room temperature as well as carbonated form and decarbonated form.\u00a0 In all the tests the water has a pH above 4.0.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Family Dentist in Mobile AL<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
