If you enjoy carbonated water, you may be wondering if sparkling water is good for you. We asked registered dietitians to break down the pros and cons.
One of the physical changes can be the colour of teeth. Dental erosion can lead to two major tooth colour change – the first being a change of colour that usually happens on the cutting edge of the central incisors. This causes the cutting edge of the tooth to become transparent. [17] A second sign is a yellowish tint on the eroded tooth.

It begins at the surface, and may progress into either cavitation (tooth decay) or erosion (tooth wear). Tooth decay demineralization is caused by acids from bacteria in the dental plaque biofilm whilst tooth wear is caused by acids from non-bacterial sources. These can be extrinsic in source, such as carbonated drinks, or intrinsic acids ...
Streptococcus mutans is the leading cause of tooth decay. Low concentration fluoride ions act as bacteriostatic therapeutic agent and high concentration fluoride ions are bactericidal. [123] The incorporated fluorine makes enamel more resistant to demineralization and, thus, resistant to decay. [124]
Dr. Rubinshtein says that one surprising habit that can increase the risk of cavities is drinking lemon water. This is because lemons are super acidic and the acid can stick to teeth and erode ...
A 1930s poster from the Work Projects Administration promoting oral hygiene. Tooth decay is the most common global disease. [14] Over 80% of cavities occur inside fissures in teeth where brushing cannot reach food left trapped after eating and saliva and fluoride have no access to neutralize acid and remineralize demineralized teeth, unlike easy-to-clean parts of the tooth, where fewer ...
