How to Strengthen and Protect Your Enamel
Enamel is the hard, outer layer that protects the tooth’s crown. It is also your body's first line of defense against tooth decay. Aside from regular dental checkups every 6 months, here are some ways you can care for and protect your enamel as part of a good oral hygiene routine.
5 Ways to Keep Your Teeth Strong
-
Brush your teeth with Pronamel® and a soft-bristled toothbrush
Pronamel® is specially designed to help strengthen tooth enamel and protect it against the effects of acid erosion. Be sure to brush twice a day and use a soft-bristled toothbrush to help reduce enamel wear.
-
Floss regularly
It’s important to floss regularly to help remove plaque from the areas between your teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach. This helps keep your teeth and gums healthy.
-
Try not to brush your teeth immediately after meals
Wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth after a meal and use Pronamel® toothpaste to give your teeth extra protection against the effects of everyday acids.
-
Drink acidic beverages through a straw
Drinking through a straw helps push the liquid to the back of your mouth, and away from your teeth.
-
Hydrate with water
Drinking water helps rinse away dietary acids and is especially important if you have low saliva volume. Saliva helps to neutralize acidity and remineralize tooth enamel, so if you aren’t producing enough, your risk of acid erosion increases.
