When it comes to a healthy beautiful smile, tooth enamel health is essential.
Enamel is the outer layer of the tooth that protects the dentin and pulp of the teeth, acting as a shield. In fact, of all the substances in the human body, it’s the hardest! It also helps prevent tooth decay and sensitivity of the teeth.
However, enamel can become worn due to a variety of factors, including acidic food and beverages, teeth grinding and clenching of the teeth and jaw.
Fortunately, there are ways to help restore enamel, including remineralizing toothpaste. Read on for more.
Fortifying the teeth with toothpaste
If you are suffering from tooth enamel loss, remineralizing toothpaste could help.
Remineralizing toothpaste helps repair tooth damage from erosion demineralization of the teeth.
It works through ingredients like phosphate and calcium, which strengthen teeth and enamel. They also contain fluoride and hydroxyapatite, also essential in strengthening enamel.
Remineralizing toothpaste also helps teeth to be less sensitive to cold and hot foods and beverages and helps stave off additional damage from acid erosion.
However, it’s important to know that it will not reverse tooth decay that has developed beyond enamel into tooth dentin.
As always, it is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily, as well as keep up with your bi-annual dental checkups.
