What are the main reasons for enamel erosion?
The main reasons for erosion of the enamel of your teeth are as follows:
- Regularly eating foods and beverages which are acidic in nature such as sodas, wine and citrus foods. The acids degrade the enamel of the teeth naturally over time.
- Not brushing teeth properly due to which leftover food attracts harmful bacteria. The harmful bacteria feed on leftover carbohydrates and release acids which cause reduction in mineral of the enamel and cause cavities in your teeth.
- Not flossing teeth due to which food can remain stuck on the teeth surface. This hardens over time and causes removal of enamel surface due to erosion.
- Consuming certain medicines which cause erosion of the enamel. Also certain medical illness such as acid reflux also lead to enamel erosion.
- Genetic factors causing degradation of the tooth enamel.
How prodentim prevents degradation of enamel ?
Prodentim is made of natural probiotics which are of protective nature. These natural probiotics work in the following ways to prevent enamel degradation:
- The probiotics present in prodentim compete with harmful bacteria by creating their own colonies which compete and create a protective environment.
- These probiotics in prodentim also naturally release substances that help in neutralising the acids produced by harmful bacteria. This helps to remineralize the enamel rather than eroding it as the pH of mouth is neutral.
- Prodentim contains probiotics that release chemicals that cause remineralization of the enamel of the teeth. They do it by releasing calcium and phosphorus into the enamel of your teeth, strengthening it over time.
- The probiotics are also responsible for secreting substances that increase the mineral content of saliva responsible for calcifying the worn out enamel of the teeth, restoring it in the process.
- These probiotics work together to reduce inflammation in the oral tissues so that the enamel is protected from microbes by the immune system.
- The natural pH of the oral cavity is also maintained and regulated by these probiotics present in prodentim.
- The natural probiotics also promote increased production of healthy saliva in the mouth, creating a biofilm that protects the enamel from acidic substances.
What are the lifestyle changes needed to protect enamel with prodentim?
You should start adopting these following lifestyle changes and routinely follow them to protect your teeth enamel with prodentim:
- Brush your teeth properly with proper brushing technique by using bristles which are soft and use circular motion while brushing. And do the brushing daily twice.
- Use natural remineralizing agents which strengthen the enamel such as calcium rich toothpaste, xylitol and mineral rich mouthwash.
- Also use traditional practice of oil pulling using coconut or sesame oil, that is rinsing the mouth with oil for 15-20 minutes daily to remove dirt and leftover particles.
- Rinse your mouth properly with water after eating food and also drink plenty of water daily.
- It is also recommended to visit the dentist regularly for routine dental health checkups to prevent dental problems.
- Finally, relaxation techniques such as yoga and pranayam increase immunity of our body which kill the harmful oral microbes and protect our teeth.
What are the necessary foods to be taken to protect enamel ?
There are certain beneficial foods which should be taken to protect enamel. These foods are:
- Foods rich in calcium such as dairy products and vegetables which are leafy. Also start taking almonds and sardines.
- Start taking foods which have high phosphorus such as fish, meat and eggs. Also include nuts as well.
- Additionally, start incorporating vitamin D rich foods which are fatty fish, yolks in egg and fortified foods which protect your enamel in the long run.
What are the foods to avoid to protect enamel?
These are the foods you should avoid to protect the enamel of your teeth:
- Foods rich in acids like acidic fruits and carbonated beverages should be avoided completely to protect the enamel of the teeth. These foods lower the pH of oral cavity which leads to enamel degradation.
- Chocolates and candies rich in sugar are another kind of food which attract harmful bacteria which are not to be taken as well. It is because these harmful bacteria release acidic compounds after eating sugar and these acidic compounds eat away the enamel of your teeth causing cavities over time.
- Certain sports drinks have abnormally high sugar level so such drinks cannot be taken at all cost to protect the enamel of your teeth.
Conclusion
It is now evident that protecting the enamel of the teeth involves several steps which should be taken regularly in addition to consuming prodentim. These include proper oral hygiene, visiting dentist regularly, practicing yoga and other techniques, avoiding sugary foods and taking healthy foods which protect the enamel of the teeth. Also it is advised to start slowly with these practices, monitor your progress regularly over time, combine multiple approaches and stay consistent and patient as it takes time to achieve significant results.
