ENAMEL EROSION

  http://teespring.com/newsroom

Erosion is the loss of tooth enamel caused by acid attack. Enamel is the hard, protective coating of the tooth, which protects the sensitive dentine underneath. When the enamel is worn away, the dentine underneath is exposed, which may lead to pain and sensitivity.

Enamel erosion occurs when acids, including those in a normal healthy diet, attack the outer layer (the enamel) of teeth. This makes the teeth softer and weaker. 

But the main culprit is our culture of constant sipping and snacking throughout the day.

How to prevent enamel erosion:

• Give your teeth a 3-4 hour break between meals;
• Avoid frequent snacking ;
• Finish your meal with a crunchy vegetable (carrot, stalk of celery, cauliflower, piece of Bell pepper, leaf of cabbage, sliced up cucumber) to help clean the teeth and stimulate saliva;
• Chew some sugar-free chewing gum for 10 minutes;
• When you have finished brushing, spit out excess toothpaste, but do not rinse with water. If you rinse with water, you will get rid of the Flouride. If you absolutely want to rinse after your teeth after brushing, use a flouride mouthwash.

IS SPARKLING WATER HARMING YOUR TEETH?

The Sparkling truth about...

A dentist in London warns that most people have no idea that fizzy water is extremely acidic. 

It is considered the virtuous option compared to other fizzy drinks. And it is often more refreshing than standard still water.

But sparkling water is not as harmless as most of us think - and is actually more acidic than wine and vinegar, the dentist has warned: 

"Most people have no idea that fizzy water is extremely acidic. The bubbles erode your tooth enamel - and over time this causes painful, yellow cracked teeth. Sparkling water has an acidic level of pH3 on the acidity scale. With pH7 being neutral, the figures make alarming reading. By comparison, salad dressing (e.g.vinegar) has a pH3.6."

Chewing gum has been around since ancient times.
Originally made from natural products, today's gums are combinations of synthetic materials.
Some chewing gums may help protect your teeth. The physical act of chewing increases the flow of saliva, which can neutralize and wash away harmful acids that are produced when food is chewed and broken down.
You should brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and use dental floss once daily. And while chewing gum should not replace brushing brushing and flossing, clinical research shows that chewing sugarless gum for 20 minutes after a meal may also help prevent tooth decay.

GOOD ORAL HYGIENE LAYS THE GROUNDWORK FOR A HEALTHY SMILE.

The daily routine of brushing and flossing to remove dental plaque,plus regular check-ups is usually enough to prevent tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. These practices can maintain oral health on most people, but the need for additional help in controlling plaque and the treatment of mouth and gum disorders forms the rationale for the use of an antiseptic oral rinse.
