Effervescent multivitamin tablets cause dental problems
Evidence from in vitro studies indicates that effervescent multivitamin tablets possess an acidic pH which can cause enamel erosion and negatively impact the physical properties of dental restorative materials.
The retrieved papers consistently demonstrate that effervescent multivitamin tablets contain organic acids that lower pH and cause erosive mineral loss in tooth enamel as well as degradation of dental restorative materials. There are no papers contradicting this finding.
Effervescent multivitamin tablets exhibit an acidic pH that causes enamel erosion and affects dental restorative materials in in vitro studies.
