Regular dental checkups mean that signs of acid erosion can be detected early. We at Chelsea Dental and Dermal Clinic advise a preventative approach to avoid teeth wear.
If you do have signs of tooth erosion it is important to:
• Limit the consumption of acidic food and drink to meal times.
• Reduce the number of times a day you eat or drink acidic foods and drinks.
• Choose soft drinks which have no added sugar.
• Finish meals with a small piece of cheese or a drink of milk.
• Delay brushing teeth immediately after having acidic foods or drinks as the acid temporarily softens the tooth enamel leading to a greater risk of erosion.
