What
worries
your
dentist
more,
chocolate
or
a
slice
of
lemon?
Dentists believe that because of improved dental health people have fewer cavities.
That’s the good
news.
The
bad
news
is there’s
something
else
out
there
called
acid
wear. Acid wear is a consequence of our preference for a modern diet and having to deal
with acid s found in today’s food and drink, such as fruit juices, soft drinks, fruit and wine.
These acid s can temporarily soften the enamel on the tooth’s surface. O ver time, this
weakened surface m ay then becom e thinner as it is gradually worn aw ay by brushing.
If you do nothing about acid wear, it m ay lead to more serious dental problems.
So what can you d o ? For a start, you can continue enjoying those things you like but think
carefully about how you consum e them. For example, don’t mull fruit over in your mouth;
swallow it as soon as you feel it is ready to digest. Drink acidic drinks through a straw, avoiding
your teeth, and wait at least one hour after consum ing acidic foods or drinks before brushing.
You need to start protecting your tooth’s enamel now, because loss of enamel is irreversible.
Sensodyne' ProNamel™ helps to re-harden your
tooth’s
softened
enam el
and
is
an
everyday
toothpaste sp e cifica lly designed to help protect
ag ain st a cid wear.
It is m ade for people with sensitive teeth and
has all the benefits of a daily toothpaste in that
it fights cavities,
helps
keep gum s
healthy and
freshens breath.
Your dentist may see
thinning of the enamel
“I recommend
Sensodyne ProNamel.”
