As modern diets are changing, dentists are increasingly concerned about how this will affect their patients’ oral health.
Modern lifestyles and dietary habits can often mean an increase in the consumption of acid-rich foods and drinks. Each time your teeth are exposed to acidic food or drinks, the acids can weaken the enamel as it loses minerals, making it easier to wear away.
Modern lifestyles and dietary habits can often mean an increase in the consumption of acid-rich foods and drinks. Each time your teeth are exposed to acidic food or drinks, the acids can weaken the enamel as it loses minerals, making it easier to wear away.Your body can replace the lost minerals through the action of saliva. There is a constant dynamic between mineral loss and mineral replacement. However, excessive and severe exposure to acids may exceed the rate of mineral repair, causing irreversible damage to your enamel.
