Tooth Enamel Loss

When people look at you, one of the first things they notice is your smile. Your teeth are not only crucial for your appearance but digestion and speech abilities as well. Damage to your teeth, such as Tooth Enamel Loss, can cause severe pain and affect the rest of your body. At the office of Dr. Andres de Cardenas, we can provide you with the best treatments!

Your teeth are surrounded by an outer layer of hard tissue, called enamel. Not only does it protect your teeth from physical and chemical damage but is considered to be the most robust tissue in the body. But over time, your enamel can wear down, which can leave your teeth susceptible to harm.

Tooth Enamel Loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including the foods you eat, certain medications, and low amounts of saliva. Although enamel is extremely tough, it can’t ever grow back, which makes prevention extremely important for the overall health of your teeth.

Rebuild Tooth Enamel

Here are some ways you can prevent Tooth Enamel Loss and keep your teeth looking their best!

Cut down sugar: Sweets such as soda and candy may taste good, but they are some of the biggest offenders of Tooth Enamel Loss. Sugar can lead to bacteria, which can cause enamel decay. Our team will be happy to help you find alternatives so you can enjoy dessert while protecting your teeth.

Stimulate saliva: Saliva is a meaningful way to keep your teeth healthy and enamel intact. Chewing sugar-free gum after you finish eating or rinsing your teeth by regularly drinking water will do wonders to prevent enamel loss.

Treat medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as chronic acid reflux, teeth grinding, and naturally low saliva production can all be factored in enamel loss. Our team of experts will provide you with the best treatments for these conditions or direct you to the professionals who will!

Avoid acids: Just as sugar can lead to Tooth Enamel Loss, so can acidic foods and drinks. Citrus fruits such as oranges and drinks like red wine leave behind harsh chemicals which will damage your enamel if not quickly rinsed off.

If your teeth have been feeling increasingly more sensitive, discolored, or cracked, it can be the symptoms of Tooth Enamel Loss. We want everyone to feel confident in their smile, which is why our team will work with you to provide the highest quality care and treatments for your teeth.
