Products that deplete tooth enamel of minerals have been identified

Russian dentists sound the alarm: everyday food products can imperceptibly destroy the health of your teeth. According to recent studies, fruits, acidic products, sweet drinks, and confectionery significantly increase the porosity of tooth enamel, washing out valuable minerals from it.

As orthodontist Alena Kopetskaya told "Gazeta.Ru", maintaining oral hygiene alone is not enough to preserve dental health.

"Acid and sugar can contribute to the demineralization of enamel, that is, increasing its porosity. And porous enamel is less resistant to bacterial effects," the specialist emphasized in an interview with the publication.

The expert notes the particular danger of sugar, which enhances the destructive action of pathogenic microorganisms. "The more sugar on the surface of the teeth, the faster bacteria multiply and the more aggressive their impact," explained Kopetskaya.

As protective measures, the dentist recommends using hygiene products with fluoride and regularly consuming foods rich in calcium and phosphorus, such as cottage cheese, fish, and cheese. These minerals form dense "crystals" that integrate into the enamel structure, significantly increasing its strength and resistance to external influences.
