That sparkling, zesty carbonated drink that you love oh so much could be damaging your teeth. There are two facts that we must face:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>There\u2019s something enchanting about bubbly drinks that still beverages just can\u2019t achieve.<\/li>\n<li>Even unflavored, entertaining effervescent infused water contains carbonic acid that can gradually erode your teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>*Gasp!* It\u2019s time to face the facts! Let\u2019s take a look at sparkling drinks and what they do to your smile alongside your dentist in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>How does sparkling water erode my teeth?<\/h2>\n<p>It may be difficult to fathom that a beverage with no sugar or added flavors is bad for your oral health. The reality is that the bubbly effect created from carbon dioxide has a chemical reaction in your mouth each time you take a sip of sparkling water. This is what happens:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The chemical reaction in your mouth turns the carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (this gives the drink that refreshing pep that\u2019s comparable to soda).<\/li>\n<li>Carbonic acid slowly wears away to tooth enamel.<\/li>\n<li>Your teeth can become more exposed to dental bacteria and other problems as the enamel of your teeth deteriorate over time.<\/li>\n<li>If you add lemon or lime to your sparkling water, you\u2019re adding even more acid to your drink!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Your Dentist Says the Best Drink Is Water!<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, one thing is true: sparkling water is healthier for you than soda or juice without a doubt. Since we\u2019re facing facts, there\u2019s still another that stands: sparkling water is more harmful to your mouth than good ol\u2019 water. Simply put, water is the best substance that you can sip on at any given time. That means during your lunch at work, drink water. If you\u2019re sipping and snacking, drink water!<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t had enough facts thus far, take some time to look at a pH scale. Basically, the lower the number, the more acidic (worse) it is for your oral health. Pure water has a pH level of 7 compared to sparkling water with a pH level of 5.<\/p>\n<h2>Here\u2019s Your Last Fact for the Day<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to keep your body and mouth healthy, go all natural and guzzle that H2O. Although you may be trying to be more health conscious, be aware of what man-made foods and drinks are doing to your whole body\u2014including your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Meet Your Dentist<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re on a health-kick, you\u2019ve probably been thinking about taking care of your teeth as well. The best way to do that is ask any burning questions you may have about what you eat, drink, or take care of your teeth. Also, take the time to visit your dental team and have them take a look at your smile.
