Why Stomach Acid Damages Teeth
Stomach acid erodes enamel, leading to
thinning, sensitivity, and decay, as enamel
does not regenerate once it is damaged by
repeated acid exposure.
Don’t Brush Right After

enamel damage by scrubbing acid deeper, so
rinse with water or a baking soda solution before
brushing.

Rinse Often
Rinsing your mouth with water or a baking soda
solution after morning sickness episodes neutralizes
acids and protects your enamel from further harm.
Use a Fluoride Toothpaste
Fluoride toothpaste strengthens enamel, reduces
sensitivity, and provides additional protection
against acid damage, ensuring your teeth remain
healthy during pregnancy.
