The Slow Loss of Enamel
Unlike cavities from bacteria, erosion comes from acid exposure. Once enamel is gone, it doesn't grow back. Prevention is essential.
Common Causes
Frequent soft drinks, even diet versions. Citrus fruits and juices. Wine and sports drinks. Acid reflux. Frequent vomiting.
Protection Strategies
Use a straw for acidic drinks. Wait 30 minutes after acid exposure before brushing. Rinse with water immediately after acids. Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva. Choose water over acidic drinks when possible.
