Carbonated water poses a greater danger to the teeth than water without gas, say dentists. This is due to the fact that in carbonated water contains more acid, which adversely affects the tooth enamel and destroys it.

Researchers from the School of Stomatology at the University of California in Los Angeles note that in mineral water, more additives that cause a chemical reaction to provide a characteristic taste of "bubbles". It is because of the presence of these substances that the mineral water can seriously damage the health of teeth and oral cavity.

People who use water with gas dentists recommend to be careful and do not rinse this mouth with water.

However, for those people whose mouth produces a large amount of saliva, water with gas is not so terrible - in this case, the destruction of tooth enamel will be minimal.

The authors of the study emphasize that the effect of carbonated water on oral health has not been sufficiently studied by experts. But it is known that some other non-alcoholic drinks like juices, soda and energy. And they can all be very harmful to the teeth.

Scientists emphasize that for the health of teeth and oral cavity, and for health in general, ordinary water without gas is most useful.
