Researchers have reported that the addition of arginine (Arg) in flavored fancy waters significantly lowers their potential to cause erosive tooth wear. Erosive tooth wear is a progressive loss of enamel caused by acidic beverages, commonly seen among young people. A recent study was conducted by Mohammed N. and colleagues published in the Journal of Dentistry.
With the increased popularity of flavored sparkling and carbonated beverages, erosive wear is an important issue. The oral health benefits of L-arginine have been reported in various studies. In this study, the efficacy of five commercially available fancy waters containing L-arginine was tested in reducing tooth wear over a controlled period of 72 hours.
