  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.

  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.
