  2. Keep your Teeth Healthy • Do you watch what you eat? Keeping your teeth healthy also requires a healthy diet. • Your body gets a supply of nutrients it needs from the food you eat. • Hence, poor diet could also mean that your teeth and mouth are not receiving nutrients they require to stay in good condition.

  4. The Teeth Enamel Naturally Loses and Gains Minerals Everyday • These two processes should be kept balanced for the enamel to stay strong. • Unfortunately, when the teeth are exposed to massive acid attacks, the enamel ends up losing more minerals than it gains.

  5. Healthy Fruits • When the enamel erodes, the dentin or the darker layer of the teeth gets exposed. • This makes the teeth discolored and more sensitive and. Examples of fruits that are high in acid content are lemons and oranges. • These are healthy fruits but you may want to follow up with water after enjoying them.

  6. Habit to Use a Straw • If you’re taking lemon water, keep watch of the lemon concentration in water. • Also, make it a habit to use a straw instead of drinking straight from the glass. • This will protect your teeth from overexposure to acid.

  7. Excessive Sugar Intake Can also Weaken Tooth Enamel • Apart from acid, another well-known culprit of weakened tooth enamel is sugary food. • Bacteria feed off sugar and then develop into plaque. Bacteria also multiply faster with the help of sugar. • Limiting sugar intake, including sugary beverages such as energy drinks, will help your mouth fight tooth decay.

  8. How to Protect Teeth from Acid Exposure • Make sure to drink water right after consuming acidic food and drinks. • Wait at least 30 minutes or at you can also rinse your mouth with water to get rid of any food debris stuck on your teeth.

  9. Food that’s Friendly to Your Teeth • There are a lot of food choices good for your teeth.
