Flavored Water is More Harmful Than You Think

The same acid that can hurt your teeth can also damage your gums. The acid irritates your gums and can cause an immune system reaction, fueled by the bacteria in your mouth. This can lead to gum disease – gingivitis at first, then possibly periodontitis. Periodontitis attacks your gums, causing them to recede, and the immune reaction starts attacking your gums, the support structures for your teeth, and your jawbone.
