What does your tooth enamel do for you?<\/h2>\r\nAs mentioned earlier, tooth\u00a0enamel is the substance that protects each of your teeth. This outer layer of your teeth acts as a protective shell between food, drinks, acid, and sugar and inner layers of your teeth.\u00a0It\u2019s actually the hardest substance that your body produces\u2014but it\u2019s only made once. That means it\u2019s extremely important to care for your teeth so that you don\u2019t suffer from enamel erosion and eventually tooth sensitivity.\r\n

What happens when enamel wears away?<\/h2>\r\nProtecting a person\u2019s enamel is one of the main focuses your dentist will stay attentive to. Every time a person puts something into their mouth, bites or chews, there is a risk of damaging the layer of enamel that works to protect your teeth.\r\n\r\nThat means that you must pay attention to the foods you eat and drinks that you sip on. High sugar foods and drinks eventually create an acidic substance that attacks the enamel of your teeth. The bacteria that lingers in your mouth mixes with leftover sugar and can begin to wear the enamel away.\r\n\r\nOnce the enamel becomes damaged, it allows for tooth decay or other dental concerns to lead to additional damage to the other layers of your teeth. Plus, tooth enamel works to protect the sensitive inside of your teeth from hot and cold substances that causes tooth sensitivity. That\u2019s why when enamel wears away, you\u2019ll experience twinging pain when you drink hot drinks or sip on ice cold water.\r\n

You and Your Dentist Can Work Together to Protect Tooth Enamel<\/h2>\r\nOne of the best ways that you can work to protect your tooth enamel is to partner with your local dentist for effective preventive care<\/a>. By visiting your dentist, you can receive effective dental cleanings, exams, and even explore fluoride treatments that work to build up your enamel\u2019s strength. Plus, your dentist will be able to recommend products to help keep your enamel strong at home, like fluoride infused toothpaste.\r\n\r\nTo learn more about tooth enamel, its importance and how to best protect it, give us a call and schedule an appointment today to see a dentist.\r\n\r\n
