Tooth enamel is the outermost layer of the teeth and its purpose is to protect them from tooth decay and physical damage. Though tooth enamel is the hardest mineral substance in the body, it’s not invincible and has the ability to weaken over time. Weak teeth can also develop from the food and drinks we consume. Dr. Cynthia Wong of Dr. Cynthia Wong Orthodontics is here to help you improve your oral health to avoid weak enamel.
If you notice your teeth and gums becoming increasingly sensitive, this is a symptom of enamel erosion. Acidity is enamel’s worst enemy, so the best prevention is eliminating sugary beverages and sodas from your diet. Additionally, if you brush your teeth too hard, you may wear down your enamel over time. Because tooth enamel can only be replicated with dental bonding if lost, we encourage patients to practice prevention to save time in the dental office and protect your smile.
