What Is Enamel and Why Is It Important for Your Teeth?
By Regency Dental Group
Enamel is the hard, outer layer of your teeth, and it's the strongest substance in your body. Made primarily of minerals, it protects your teeth from daily wear and tear, as well as harmful acids and bacteria. Enamel shields your teeth from cavities, decay, and sensitivity, making it essential for maintaining good oral health. While enamel doesn’t regenerate, you can protect it by practicing good oral hygiene—brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and avoiding excessive sugary foods and drinks. Taking care of your enamel now helps ensure your teeth stay strong and healthy for years to come!
