When you brush your teeth your enamel gets worn off from the pumice in Tpaste, do you ever regrown enamel? |
Issue What is the long term effects of brushing your teeth, do they dissolve after 40 years? Best Tip Unless you're using Lava soap as toothpaste, no they won't wear away from brushing. Others no your enamel doesn't grow back and you'll start getting tooth decay yes, calcium from your diet stregthens the enamel and the flouride in the paste also stregthens as well as provide a protective barrier to prevent tooth decay: so yes, brush your teeth! You will never, ever regrow enamel. Fluoride helps to seal off the microscopic enamel tubules that can become more opened due to abrasive pumices but the enamel will never grow back - you can work on sealing the tubules (this makes sensitivity better and cold/air more tolerable) - don't use whitening or baking soda toothpastes, it is too abrasive to use every single day - use regular old fashioned crest or aquafresh - then use whitening once a week if desired. signed, a DDS I'm a Dentist You never regrow enamel. Proper brushing will not harm your teeth in an entire lifetime. Your enamel cannot be worn away by toothbrushing alone. Tooth enamel is incredibly hard. However, if you combine brushing with an intake of acidic drinks i.e. juices, cordials, soft drinks, sports drinks... then the acids will soften the enamel and allow the brushing to have an erosive effect. I am just aboout to start to fix my brother-in-law's teeth after years of Diet Coke. He is now 52, and his teeth have become very worn down, and are starting to chip away. It will take about 6 months of work including extractions, root canal therapies, gum surgery, and crowns. If I was charging him fees, it would cost AUD$12000. And his teeth still won't be as good as when he was younger. The moral: drink water as much as possible |
