Did you know there is a mineral substance in our bodies that are stronger than our bones? Your enamel is the hard, outer surface layer of your teeth. Its sole purpose is to protect against tooth decay. Through time and other contributing factors such as the foods we eat, decaying or discoloration occurs and results in the erosion of the enamel over time.
Preventing enamel decay can be as easy as cutting out or limiting high-acidic foods from your regular diet. High-acidic foods include items such as blueberries, sugar, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, cranberries, and more. Another thing you can do is remove high sugar drinks from your diet in addition to acidic foods is also a good idea.
The easiest way to avoid decay is to steer clear of high-acidity foods. This may not always be possible, but eliminating sugary fruit juices and soda from your diet is a good start.
Brushing your teeth after each meal and flossing frequently also preserves your enamel. Another good idea is to rinse your mouth with water or mouthwash after eating to wash away high-acidity particles.
