The Causes of Acid Erosion
Your everyday diet can put your teeth at risk and this can happen more easily than you’d expect. In fact, up to 1 in 3 young adults ages 18-35 are at risk of Acid Erosion.* Coffee, wine, soda, and surprisingly healthy choices, like fruit, fruit juices, sparkling water with lemon, and even some salad dressings can damage tooth enamel. As few as four acidic “occasions” throughout the day can put our enamel at risk from Acid Erosion
