Reduce the Impact of Acid Wear on Teeth

(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Pittsburgh – Those who want a healthy body and a healthy smile can worry less about the toll their diets can sometimes take on tooth enamel as a result of acid wear. Whether dining out or at home, Americans are consuming healthier fare such as fruits, vegetables, diet sodas and sports drinks – but many of these options are also high in acid, which may soften and wear away tooth enamel over time and lead to sensitivity.

Food authority and Iron Chef Cat Cora has partnered with the makers of the Sensodyne® ProNamel™, a new toothpaste which delivers both state-of-the-art acid wear and sensitivity protection, to create The Food Pro’s Guide to Dining Out With a Smile. The handy guide is packed with Cat’s insider tips to help people indulge in healthy foods they love with confidence and create a worry-free smile.

Dental professionals view acid wear as one of the most significant oral care concerns of the 21st century. Over time, untreated acid wear can weaken the enamel so much that it ultimately can change the texture and appearance of teeth, as well as cause painful tooth sensitivity. Sensodyne ProNamel is specially formulated to re-harden enamel and also helps enamel become more resistant to future acid attacks and tooth sensitivity.

The Food Pro’s Guide to Dining Out With a Smile dishes about the tell-tale signs of acid wear and provides simple steps that consumers can adopt to help protect their tooth enamel. The Guide also serves up Cat’s favorite flavorful recipes and exclusive tips for having a care-free dining experience that will make everyone feel like a food pro – whether it’s facing a wine conundrum, wondering how to watch your waistline while dining out or how to secure a reservation at a coveted restaurant.

The Food Pro’s Guide to Dining Out With a Smile is available for free download at www.catcorafoodpro.com, and at the Sensodyne ProNamel Dental Spa events, taking place in cities nationwide through September, where consumers can also receive a free consultation with a dental professional.

Once enamel is lost, it cannot be replaced, so a preventive approach is essential to help protect against future damage, Dr. Rozenberg recommends incorporating these simple steps into your daily routine to help prevent future damage:

Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after consuming acidic food or drinks when enamel is at its softest and more likely to be damaged. It is best to brush teeth before meals or wait at least one hour after eating before brushing.

Swallow acidic drinks immediately versus swishing them in your mouth. Consider drinking soft drinks through a straw directed away from the teeth to avoid contact with your teeth.
Get regular dental check-ups and follow your dentist’s or dental hygienist’s advice.
