Tips for Acid Wear Prevention

• To help prevent acid wear, consider avoiding brushing right after eating, when the enamel is soft. It is best to brush teeth 30 minutes to an hour after exposure to acidic food and drink. Try to follow acidic meals with a glass of water or milk to help neutralize the acid.
• Encourage your child to swallow acidic drinks immediately rather than swishing them around their mouths. It is also beneficial to drink an acidic beverage in one sitting, rather than sipping it throughout the day.
• Instead of sucking on acidic snacks like sour candies, or even healthy ones such as orange wedges, encourage children to swallow food once they have finished properly chewing.
• Take children for regular dental check-ups and follow your dentist's advice.
• Brush twice a day, every day with a toothpaste like ProNamel^® for Children to help re-harden softened tooth enamel and help protect young teeth from future acid wear attacks.
