Avoid damage to you teeth and still enjoy the Time Out Lifestyle with a few simple precautions
Acid wear can occur when the acids from food and drinks come in contact with teeth and temporarily soften the enamel surface, making them vulnerable to wear.
Ever notice changes in the lustre and texture of your teeth? Are you experiencing increased translucency and yellowing? These are all symptoms of acid wear.
Protection is the best policy against acid wear. You can still consume acidic foods and drinks as part of a sensibly managed and balanced diet but the following precautions are recommended.
| • | Drink acidic drinks through a straw, and don't hold the liquid in your mouth or swish it around. |
| • | Drink plenty of water to maintain hydration levels as part of an active lifestyle. |
| • | Avoid brushing your teeth straight after consuming acid-containing meals or drinks, when enamel is softest. |
| • | After an acidic meal, consider eating some enamel-friendly foods such as cheese and nuts to help restore the pH balance in your mouth. |
| • | Follow the advice of your dental professional and have regular dental checks. |
| • | Brush your teeth gently but thoroughly twice a day with PRONAMEL toothpaste. |

Did you know that consuming some everyday foods and drinks can lead to a condition where your tooth enamel can be more easily worn away, resulting in some undesirable effects on your teeth? Many of the foods and drinks that we associate with a modern diet, including wine, some fruits, orange juice and salad dressing contain acids that can temporarily soften tooth enamel making it vulnerable to acid wear. |
