About Enamel

Are You Helping to Reduce the Effects of Enamel Loss?

Tooth enamel is a hard, outer layer that protects the tooth. It is also your body's first line of defence against tooth sensitivity. Therefore, it is important to know how you can care for it and protect it from acid erosion.

Aside from regular visits to the dentist for routine check-ups, here are some ways you can help keep your tooth enamel healthy and strong:

  • Information promoting brushing teeth daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and using a fluoride enamel toothpaste

    Brush your teeth daily with a soft bristled toothbrush and use a fluoride toothpaste. All Sensodyne toothpastes contains fluoride.


    Soft-bristled brushes reduce potential for toothbrushing to contribute to enamel wear.

  • Information stating that its better for teeth to drink acidic beverages through a straw

    When you drink acidic beverages, do so through a reusable straw

    Drinking through a reusable straw can help push the liquid to the back of your mouth, and away from your teeth.

  • Information stating to drink water to rinse away dietary acids

    Hydrate with water throughout the day


    Drinking still water is especially important if your mouth feels dry.


    You can protect your tooth enamel from acid erosion and enjoy a healthy varied diet also by making some small adjustments to your oral care routine.
