  • For Your Health

    Sparkling water is not a significant source of tooth erosion. While risk of dental decay is greater with carbonated water than with regular water, sodas can cause tooth problems at a rate several hundred times higher than sparkling water. These findings suggest that carbonation is not the key factor in soft drinks causing dental erosion and decay. Studies have also found that drinking carbonated water does not increase the risk of bone fracture. This makes carbonated water virtually just as safe as regular water.
