Thinning and decay of tooth enamel are some of the causes of tooth decay. The first sign of strengthening your tooth enamel is an increase in tooth sensitivity against the background of the overall health of the oral cavity. This reaction is due to thinning and loss of the ability to adequately protect the nerves of the teeth from the effects of hot and cold foods, sweet or sour foods. The most important thing is to strengthen the enamel, the solution of which acts as corrosion prevention and allows you to maintain a beautiful smile for many years.


The cause of the destruction of tooth enamel


All the situations that can negatively affect the condition of the tooth enamel can be divided into several categories.

Poor oral hygiene or lack of it: 

Bacteria present in the mouth release substances during their vital activities that aggressively affect tooth enamel. Inadequate care or hygiene accelerates the process of eliminating the wrong choice of products (toothbrush, paste and rinse aid).

Unbalanced diet: 

The absence of foods rich in vitamins and microelements not only affects human health but also the condition of teeth. Thus, a lack of phosphorus, calcium, and magnesium can dilute and reduce the protective effect of the enamel.

Bad eating habits:

 Frequent consumption of sweet and carbonated beverages, sharp changes in hot and cold foods (for example, a portion of ice cream after a cup of hot coffee) always weakens tooth enamel and shows the appearance of microcracks. It is.

Smoking: 

Tobacco smoke not only causes tooth discoloration but also has a devastating effect due to its high temperature and chemical composition.

Hereditary tendency:

 In some cases, very thin and weak tooth enamel can be noticed in all (or many) members of a family. This means that the condition is due to genetic factors.

Mechanical damage: 

The habit of crimping with a pencil or pen, using teeth as "easy" to open a bottle, using sharp toothpicks or needles instead of flossing can cause chips and cracks in the teeth.

Lack of trace elements: 

Lack of fluoride, magnesium, and calcium can be caused by a variety of factors - from unhealthy foods to diuretics. As a result, tooth enamel becomes different, becomes thinner, and is at risk of cracking.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract: 

Some pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract include dry mouth, vomiting, and heartburn, which have a devastating effect on the entire oral cavity and especially on tooth enamel.



How to strengthen your teeth

Strengthening tooth enamel is a complex task that requires a comprehensive approach. One of the directions is self-help for your teeth.

Nutrition correction: 

If you are wondering how to strengthen your tooth enamel, start by changing your diet. Focus on eating foods rich in vitamins and minerals.

Getting rid of the disease:

 The human body is a very delicate "process" where a strict balance must be observed: even the failure of a "screw" will inevitably cause a chain reaction. Freedom from the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine, and other problems will result in the restoration of impaired functions, including the supply of essential substances to the tissues of the teeth and gums.

Use of fluoride gels and pastes: 

Saturation with essential ingredients of dental enamel tissues can be achieved by using fluoridated oral hygiene products. This mineral not only helps to strengthen tooth enamel but also increases the protection of the oral cavity against pathogens and stimulates saliva production - one of the most important means of maintaining local immunity.
