Shining strong teeth are not only important for eating but also boosts confidence. But we unknowingly start eating such things, which contain high amount of acidic elements i.e. acid. In such a situation, the risk of weakness, yellowness and decay in teeth increases. The upper layer of teeth, which is called enamel, gives strength and protection to the teeth. When this layer gradually starts weakening, the risk of pain, sensitivity and infection increases.

Although tooth enamel is one of the strongest layers of the body, it starts breaking due to continuous acidic effect. More acidic things try to remove the enamel of the teeth. It is not felt in the beginning, but with time the surface of the teeth starts becoming rough. Then the tingling starts as soon as you eat something cold, hot or sweet. This change in the structure of teeth gives bacteria an opportunity to accumulate, which can increase cavity and gum problems.

Fruits and vegetables are essential for health, especially fruits rich in Vitamin C, which strengthen immunity and prevent diseases. Fruits like orange, grapes, pomegranate and strawberry are beneficial for the body, but science says that some of these fruits have high amount of acid. Therefore, it is important to consume them wisely.

The acidity of any food item is measured by its pH value. According to scientific standards, things whose pH is less than 7 are considered acidic.

Not only fruits, but soda, cold drinks, coffee and energy drinks can also prove to be harmful for teeth. The acid and sugar present in them together make the enamel weak. Gradually the complaint of toothache starts increasing.

In such a situation, teeth can be kept safe just by adopting some small habits. Avoid eating citrus fruits or lemon directly, as the acid directly attacks the enamel. Gargling with water after eating sour food is also helpful, because this balances the acid in the mouth. Regular use of toothpaste containing fluoride keeps the upper layer of teeth strong.
