What to Avoid If You Want to Keep Your Enamel Healthy
By Regency Dental Group
Protecting enamel isn’t just about what you add—it’s also about what you cut back:
- Sugary drinks and snacks: Feed bacteria that produce enamel-eroding acids
- Citrus fruits and juices: Highly acidic
- Frequent snacking: Gives acid more chances to build up
- Hard brushing: Can wear down enamel and irritate gums
A few simple swaps—like drinking water instead of soda—can make a big difference over time.
