Many know that candies cause tooth decay and this fact has
been taught from our childhood. But with the changing trends of food habits , tooth
erosion has been found worrying. The below
are the 4 reasons for tooth
erosion.
1.
Wine:
Many claim with the health benefits of wine ,but one thing which every
one has to agree is the high acidic nature ,sometimes pH dropping below 3 which
has to be looked at seriously.
2.
Sports drinks:
Studies found that tooth erosion is high among sports persons, because
of the drinks the consume after heavy workouts when there saliva levels are low
in mouth. Sports drinks with high pH and calcium are less harmful for dental
corrosion.
3.
Caffeinated drinks:
Caffeine reduces saliva content in the mouth, which can be one reason
for tooth corrosion, because saliva plays a vital role in diluting acids, if you cannot prevent from having those drinks
make sure you drink enough water.
4.
Soft drinks:
They are also highly acidic , some with pH levels of 2.4 because of ingredients
like phosphoric acid, sodium citrate, citric acid and tartrates
