The white-colored\u00a0protective layer is rich in calcium that accounts for its strength. Its prime function is to protect the inner, delicate tissues of the teeth from the physical and chemical damage caused by harmful bacteria and acids. However, the plaque and bacteria attack the enamel and decay the tooth. Here is a quick overview of enamel erosion, its cause and how you can prevent the erosion.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">WHAT IS ENAMEL EROSION?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Whatever food you eat or liquids you drink, the first thing to come in contact with these is the tooth enamel; hence it suffers maximum of physical and chemical damages. The acids from the foods and drinks that you consume lead to the destruction of the enamel. However, saliva in the mouth neutralizes these acids to save your enamel and dental health. But if the acidic level is too high or you frequently consume acidic foods, or the saliva production gets reduced due to dry mouth, the enamel gets worn out by the acids. The wear and tear of the enamel due to acidic reaction or physical damages is known as enamel erosion.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A major concern of enamel erosion is that it is an irreversible condition.
