Hi! The most obvious is to stop drinking soda and OJ in large amounts, and if you do, brush and rinse your teeth and mouth after wards. The only way to strengthen your teeth is with topical fluoride. Milk is not effective as you teeth are already formed and it will help the bone BUT not the enamel. Ask you dentist to prescribe Oral B fluoride or FluorideX. You must brush and floss and then you put this on with a brush and wait 30 minutes before you eat or drink anything. I recommend it at night before bed. Some toothpastes claim to "re-mineralize" teeth. This is not so and just an advertising ploy. You would have to put this on and sit all day for it to be effective as they say. The good news is the translucent you see at the edges of your teeth is actually quite normal as we get older and after teen years this is pretty common. Enamel is stronger than you think, so you can very easily live with this for a very long time. You dentist will advise you the same. In the mean time brush and floss 2 times a day and you should be okay. If you have any other questions, please ask. Marie
Ok so i have strait teeth and an overbite...?
drink milk
white spot on my gum that pusses sometimes?
Drink milk, floss, brush twice a day, go to the dentist every 6 months.
Well, the obvious thing is to stop drinking Diet Cola, because it's horrible for you. Not only is it going to wear away at your enamel, but it will also put weight on you (don't believe me? Check it up).
Also, limit your orange juice. It's okay once a day, but anymore than that and you're pushing it. It's full of sugar, which as you know, starts your body to produce a certain enzyme that hurts your teeth.
If you drink coffee, limit your cups to max 2 a day.
If you decide to drink soda, drink it through a straw.
Also, try brushing your teeth with a toothpaste that says "Helps Protect Enamel". I'm pretty sure that they have a "Pro-Enamel" toothpaste too.
Hope I helped!
BRACES QUESTION! best answer awarded?
You need to increase your calcium intake and buy fluoride rinse. Obviously, brush, floss and gargle as normal. And chew whiting gum. Not only does it make your teeth white but it strengthens them at the same time.
