Prevention

The effects of acid erosion can affect all ages and, once present, cannot be reversed - protection is the best policy.

What you can do

• Avoid brushing teeth immediately after consuming acidic food or drinks - it's best to wait as long as possible.
• Drink acidic drinks quickly - don't swish them around or hold them for long periods within your mouth
• Brush twice a day, every day, with a toothpaste like Sensodyne Pronamel or Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening to help re-harden softened tooth enamel
• Visit your dentist regularly
