Does carbonated water cause cavities?

I drink club soda almost daily and my dentist told me plain carbonated water is slightly acidic but won't cause cavities on its own. The real danger is the sugary sodas, so as long as yours is sugar-free, you're mostly safe.

This is a very common question here. Plain carbonated water has a very low risk of causing cavities, but if you drink flavored ones with citric acid, it can weaken enamel. It is always wise to rinse your mouth with normal water afterwards.

Keep your mind positive and do not worry excessively about every little thing you drink. Plain fizzy water is harmless in moderation, just remember to keep your body clean and rinse your mouth with gratitude and clean water.

I love the fizzy kick of sparkling water with my spicy meals instead of heavy sweet colas! Since there's no sugar in plain sparkling water, it won't feed the cavity-causing bacteria, so enjoy your fizzy drinks guilt-free.

Unless you are using carbonated water as a mouthwash twenty times a day, your teeth will be totally fine! Just don't mix it with sweet syrups, and you won't have to face your dentist's scary drill anytime soon.

While carbonated water is weakly acidic, studies show it is far less damaging to enamel than sweetened soft drinks. However, if you already have weak enamel, your dentist is the best person to advise whether you should avoid it.
