Sparkling Water, Kombucha & Lemon Water: Healthy Drinks, Hidden Enamel Risk?
Are "healthy" drinks safe for your enamel? Lemon water, kombucha, apple cider vinegar drinks, and flavored sparkling water are acidic and can soften enamel, especially when sipped all day. Enjoy them with meals instead, use a straw, rinse with plain water afterward, and wait at least 30 minutes before brushing so softened enamel isn't scrubbed away.
