        Unflavored sparkling water is less acidic than saliva so it’s probably safe for your teeth. Citrus flavors seem to be very popular, however, and that probably increases the acidity?

          This is not true. saliva is like a ph of 6-7, carbonated water is 3-4. Maybe more alkaline mineral waters balance out the carbonic acid, but plain sparkling water doesn't.

          Whether it actually matters for the teeth, I guess idk, it's probably better than soda or coffee, but I've always been told lots of acidity, especially slow sipping, is bad
