Fun Fact About Tooth Enamel

Tooth enamel is incredibly strong—it’s designed to protect your teeth from the daily wear and tear of chewing, biting, and grinding. However, despite its strength, it’s not invincible.

Over time, factors like sugary snacks, acidic beverages, grinding your teeth, and neglecting your oral hygiene can lead to enamel erosion, leaving your teeth vulnerable to decay and sensitivity.
