Can a Toothpaste Really Protect Teeth from Enamel Erosion?
Acid in food can damage the enamel on your teeth and researchers say that relying on toothpaste alone will not solve the problem.
Key takeaways:
– Enamel loss can lead to tooth sensitivity and pain.
– Diets that are high in acid or sugar lead to acid attacks on teeth enamel.
– Researchers recommend regular dental check-ups and treatment by a dentist.
While fluoride in toothpaste provides an important function, toothpaste alone cannot prevent enamel erosion and tooth sensitivity.
“Dental erosion is multifactorial. It has to do with brushing, and above all, with diet.”
