FAQ
Q: Are natural sugars just as harmful as processed sugars?
A: Yes — sugar is sugar to your teeth. Whether it comes from honey, fruit juice, or candy, bacteria feed on it and produce acid that erodes enamel.
Q: How do I reverse early enamel erosion?
A: While enamel can’t regenerate, early stages can be strengthened with fluoride treatments, remineralizing products, and better dietary choices.
Q: Is fruit bad for my teeth?
A: Not at all! But acidic fruits like oranges and lemons should be consumed in moderation and followed by water or neutral foods.
Q: How do I know if a food is acidic or enamel-damaging?
A: If it has a sour taste, sticks to your teeth, or contains refined carbs or sugar, it’s likely a culprit.
Q: Can I still enjoy coffee or wine?
A: Yes — just rinse your mouth afterward, avoid sipping throughout the day, and maintain good oral hygiene.
