Here we go for the tips to prevent tooth erosion

Follow these tips to reduce the effects of acid on your teeth.

Eat with meals.

Instead of snacking throughout the day, save acidic foods for mealtimes. This will reduce their contact with your teeth and help neutralize the acid by eating it with other foods.

Wash down with water.

Sip water alongside or after the acidic food or drink to wash it out of your mouth.

Use a straw.

If you must drink acidic beverages, reduce their contact with your teeth by using a straw and finishing the drink quickly, instead of sipping over a long period of time.

Say no to bubbles.

Swap out carbonated drinks with water, milk or tea.

Wait before brushing.

 Acid softens your enamel, so brushing immediately after eating or drinking high-acid foods or drinks can actually cause damage. Wait at least half an hour and then start brushing. In the meantime, you can always rinse your mouth with tap water.
