Sipping sugary drinks be it tea or coffee with sugar, fizzy drinks, sweetened fruits juices or smoothies will result in tooth decay, but what about acids in your mouth? From sugar free fizzy drinks to gastric reflux acids can cause acid erosion leaving teeth sensitive and weakened. Fluoride hardens tooth surfaces and helps protect teeth from decay AND acid erosion so using a fluoride toothpaste night and morning helps protect teeth. Remember to spit out the paste after brushing, but don’t rinse – let the fluoride work for longer. Need extra help because your mouth is higher risk of decay or erosion e.g. dry? Use a remineralising product as well as fluoride at a different time of day. Find out more and buy products the professionals recommend at growingsmiles.co.uk
