6 tips on how to strengthen your tooth enamel at home
Tooth enamel, as the outer protective layer of our teeth, is extremely robust and protects the underlying, pain-sensitive tooth layers from external influences of any kind. But as strong as it is, tooth enamel is unfortunately not invulnerable. This is because acidic foods and beverages, such as fruit juices, soft drinks and citrus fruits, dissolve minerals from the tooth enamel. 1 Demineralization softens tooth enamel, which can lead to tooth erosion over time. In this article, we present six useful tips with which you can strengthen your tooth enamel at home and thus prevent unwanted tooth enamel erosion.
Signs of tooth enamel defects
Tooth enamel degradation is a slowly progressing process that cannot be easily seen with the naked eye at the initial stage. 2 Therefore, it is all the more important that you and your family keep to your regular visits to the dentist, because your doctor can detect early on whether you are affected by tooth enamel erosion. In the advanced stage, dental erosion is easy to recognize: the teeth become transparent, especially at the "edges", they appear thinner and have lost their shine. Pain-sensitive teeth can be the result. Did you know that in addition to an acidic diet, incorrect brushing of teeth also promotes tooth enamel defects? Anyone who scrubs heavily or uses a toothbrush that is too hard promotes tooth erosion. Here's how to brush your teeth properly.
How to strengthen your tooth enamel

The good news, however, is that there are some things you and your family can do to prevent it from happening in the first place. You can also stop the further degradation of tooth enamel. Here are our tips for healthy and strong tooth enamel:
