Unflavoured carbonated water causes damage to teeth
Scientific studies demonstrate that carbonated waters and beverages possess acidic properties capable of causing enamel and dentinal erosion.
The claim specifically asserts that unflavoured carbonated water causes dental damage. Multiple in vitro studies (e.g., [0], [1], [10]) assess the erosive potential of carbonated beverages and waters on dental hard tissues, finding that carbonation and low pH contribute significantly to enamel and dentin surface loss, roughness, and volume reduction. No papers refute this mechanism.
