Did you know that your enamel is the strongest substance in your mouth? But even though your enamel is strong, it can weaken over time. And once your enamel is gone, it’s gone forever–but your enamel can strengthen itself through a process known as remineralization. Fortunately, while remineralization is a natural process, there are a few things you can consider doing to help the process along.
For instance, did you know that saliva is actually very important to the health of your smile? You see, your saliva can carry bacteria and food particles away from your teeth. Your saliva also produces minerals that will strengthen your teeth. You should also remember to brush and floss your teeth to remove excess plaque and bacteria.
You can also protect your teeth, and get minerals to your teeth, by choosing the right type of toothpaste. You should consider the benefits of toothpastes with fluoride, which can strengthen your teeth and help you prevent cavities. Furthermore, if you choose a toothpaste with amorphous calcium phosphate and protein casein phosphopeptide, your fluoride could work better for you. Finally, you may want to find a toothpaste with calcium in it, since calcium can help your teeth remineralize.
