Mineral water can be catastrophic for the teeth. Dentists fear that its acidic nature contributes to the erosion of tooth enamel.

Sparkling water, according to dentists, would "etch" the teeth and remove material compared to pH-neutral tap water. Tiny parts of the enamel can then break off when eating or through other friction. Over a lifetime, this can be a significant amount of enamel.

It is the bubbles of carbonic acid that cause problems. Although carbonic acid is a very mild acid, it can still be bad for the teeth. It is therefore advised to limit the consumption of soda water.
