• If you want to have attractive and healthy teeth
  throughout your lifetime, then it is essential to
  prevent dental enamel erosion.

• The enamel on your teeth is a hard substance that
  protects the internal components of a tooth.

5

• If dental enamel is damaged, then bacteria are
  more likely to enter a tooth.

Here are 7 important ways to avoid dental enamel
erosion.

  order to get enough vitamin C.

Oranges, lemons and limes have acidic juices that
can damage the dental enamel on your teeth.

• Eating a piece of whole citrus fruit is less
  acidic than drinking a glass of citrus juice.

• But you must rinse your mouth with water after
  eating citrus fruit or drinking citrus juice.

  citrus beverages or foods.

  but make sure to use a soft-bristled toothbrush
  rather than one that has stiff bristles.

  applying a small amount of nonabrasive toothpaste
  that contains fluoride.

  artificial sweeteners.

  between your teeth, leading to eroded enamel that
  is difficult to see.

  physicians dietary guidelines to avoid having a

  may enter your throat and mouth to bathe your
  teeth, leading to irreparable damage.

  sure to take the medications prescribed by your
  physician.

  alcohol in the evening can make the condition
  worse.

  your teeth can prevent dental enamel erosion.

  food particles after you consume lunch at work or
