Eat Cheese, Avoid Soda: Why Listening to Your Orlando Dentist Can Prevent Teeth Erosion

While milk and sugar-free yogurt maintained the pH levels of a mouth, it was the intake of cheese that made pH levels rise continuously observable at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after consumption. The study noted that the act of chewing stimulates saliva, which is the mouth's natural neutralizer to excessive acidity. This may have contributed a lot in the rise of pH levels. In addition to that, the report also cited that the various compounds found in cheese tend to stick to a tooth's enamel, which further protects it from acid. On the other hand, highly acidic drinks such as soda can contribute to teeth erosion and this is why noted Orlando dentist Dr. Sonia Simmonds is against its consumption. Tooth erosion will lead to the exposure of a tooth's nerve, bringing about heightened sensitivity to ingestion of hot and cold food and beverages. To some individuals, they cannot even go out in the cold weather because opening their mouths for a while is already giving them dental pains.
