What we eat fuels every cell in our bodies, including our teeth and
gums. Therefore, it is not a shock when dentists tell their patients
that their nutrition is important to their oral health. However, what
does surprise people is that even healthy foods, like some fruits and
most fruit juices contain acids that dissolve away the enamel of their
teeth.
Enamel is the hard surface of your teeth that protects the inner pulp
and nerve. In fact, it is actually the strongest substance in the human
body. When enamel is weakened due to acid, your teeth are more prone to
cavities and decay. Unfortunately, once a tooth begins to lose enamel,
it is not able to be replaced. It is gone. Therefore, in order to ensure
good oral (and overall) health, it is important that people are educated
on how to properly manage acid erosion. Below are six tips to help
manage this problem.
