Protect Teeth from Acid Damage

Dental erosion is a form of tooth wear – where enamel and then dentin is worn down. It is defined as irreversible damage to the teeth caused by chemicals (usually acids). This acid can come from outside sources (e.g., food and drink) or from inside the body. External sources of acids include fruits and fruit juices (particularly citrus), soft drinks, sports drinks, wine, and vinegar. Internal acidic sources include stomach acids (think acid reflux and other gastric disorders), as well as frequent vomiting. Dental erosion is preventable. Rinsing with a natural mouthwash or water after eating can help neutralize the acid exposed to your teeth and gums.

Ask The Expert

Q. How do I help someone with untreated hearing loss this Holiday Season?
A. Too often, people with hearing loss withdraw socially, even during the holiday season. Be sure to:
• Turn down the volume. Keep background music and TV at a softer volume so conversations are heard more easily.
• Face each other and stay close. It’s easier for the person with hearing loss to follow conversations when they can lip-read at a close distance.
• Encourage them to have a hearing test. It’s one of the most meaningful things you can do this holiday season.
