How to Prevent Enamel Erosion by BramCountry Dental
                     
What is enamel erosion?
Erosion of topmost strong protective layer of 
teeth is called enamel erosion that occurs 
when our enamel is worn or deteriorated. 
Several factors can cause this deterioration, 
namely:
•Heavy consumption of drinks and acidic 
foods.
•High consumption of sugary foods.
•Poor brushing technique.
•Taking certain drugs that cause dry mouth.
•Suffer from gastro esophageal reflux disease.
Suffer from eating disorders such as bulimia. 
What are the symptoms 
of enamel erosion?
When tooth enamel wears down, here's what 
can happen.
Teeth become discolored because the enamel 
has broken down and the dentin is exposed. 
Dentin is the underlying layer that has a more 
yellowish color.
The edges of the incisors appear transparent.
Tooth sensitivity can appear on the inside and 
outside of the teeth.
Teeth become more fragile and more sensitive 
towards hot and cold. 
What to do to improve the health of our 
enamel?
As we mentioned, fortunately, it is possible to protect yourself from enamel 
erosion. For this Dentist in Brampton recommend, you must first of all 
monitor your diet, as well as pay particular attention to certain habits.
Here are our top tips for protecting your enamel:
•Limit how often you consume acidic foods and drinks.
•Consume acidic and / or sugary foods and drinks after meals, as this is when 
the most saliva is in the mouth. Saliva naturally protects teeth against acid 
attacks.
•Avoid sipping acidic drinks for extended periods, or snacking throughout the 
day.
•Make sure you use the correct technique for cleaning your teeth and use a 
soft bristle toothbrush.
•See a doctor if you have gastric reflux so that you can be referred to the 
appropriate solution.
