Citrus-flavored varieties often have higher acid levels, which can increase the risk of enamel damage. To reduce this risk, it's best to drink these types of sparkling water in one sitting or alongside meals, rather than sipping on them throughout the day.

If your toothbrush bristles fray quickly or your gums bleed often, it might be time to rethink your technique.
