Preventing Tooth Erosion by Dr. Patty McGarry

Teeth Grinding, Acidic foods and harsh brushing can all pose a threat to tooth enamel.  Recently Acid Reflux is also a factor.  Fortunately simple diet changes can help- like reducing pop, juice boxes, energy drinks and sport drinks.  These drinks are not only highin sugar and acid - even if they are the diet variety.  The acid pH   is called demineralization and that can be white or brown spots on the tooth and that causes decay.  Sipping on drinks really can cause damage- if you feel that this might be happening - Call us at Dr. McGarry's office and we will check it out- 810- 735-9426
