Carbonated Beverages

According to a recent study, consuming huge amounts of carbonated beverages might be just as bad for your teeth as smoking methamphetamine or crack cocaine.

Soda and sparkling water are not only high in calories and sugar, but they can also be detrimental to your teeth. These carbonated drinks are all acidic. The pH of water is 7, whereas effervescent and seltzer waters have an acidic pH of 3 to 4, and most sodas have a pH of less than 3. Carbonated drinks' acid has proven that it can wash away your tooth enamel over time, making them more vulnerable to dental caries. Soda also includes sugar, which has been related to an increased risk of cavities. Teeth can also be stained yellow or brown by dark dyes and coloring in some sodas.
