Dental Erosion

More and More people are becoming aware of teeth being worn away or becoming sensitive as a result of an acidic diet

 It is known that acidic beverages like sodas and citric juices like grapefruit and orange juice can damage teeth.

 

1,  identify the source of erosion, possibly with the help of a dental professional this may intake keeping a diet sheet for a few days and then having this examined by a dental professional who can study this for patterns and certain products which are causing the damage. 

2, Then steps can be taken to control and prevent further damage.

3,  Reducing consumption of the suspected food or beverage to the absolute minimum.

websites that can help on this include the british dental health foundation and colgates website

    Coffee made with filtered water is pH6.6 Insufficiently acidic to decalcify enamel at pH 5.5 or dentine at pH6 and will therefore not cause erosion or sensitivity. You may want to alter your information accordingly.
