2. Enamel is the thin outer covering of the tooth.
This tough shell is the hardest tissue in the human
body.
It covers the crown which is the part of the tooth
that's visible outside of the gums.
Sometimes coffee, tea, cola, red wine, fruit juices,
and cigarettes stain the enamel on your teeth.
6. Pain when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods or drinks
Rough or uneven edges on the teeth, which can crack
or chip when they lose their enamel
Smooth, shiny surfaces on the teeth, a sign of mineral
loss
Yellow teeth
Cupping, or dents, that show up where you bite and
chew
8. Rinse your mouth with water right after you eat or drink something
acidic.
Use a straw for sodas and fruit juices so they bypass the teeth.
Finish a meal with a glass of milk or a piece of cheese to cancel out
acids.
Drink more water during the day if you have dry mouth.
Use a soft toothbrush, and try not to brush too hard.
Wait at least an hour to brush after you've had acidic foods or
drinks. They soften the enamel and make it more prone to damage
from your toothbrush.
Use fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash
