Apple lovers risk their teeth, dentist Alexei Antipenko warned. In a commentary to the Moskva 24 TV channel, he explained that apples contain organic acid that dissolves tooth enamel. They also act on tooth enamel and citrus fruits, the specialist added.
Antipenko emphasized that it is impossible to brush your teeth immediately after you have eaten an apple or a tangerine: this will only worsen the condition of the enamel, which has already been “softened” by fruit acids. The most optimal method is to rinse your mouth with clean water after the apple, it will neutralize the acid. The same should be done after citrus fruits.
We will remind, earlier it was reported that Russian physicists found out why the fillings fall out of the teeth. In some cases, the filling material does not adhere well to the teeth. Calcium, which is part of the dental composite, interacts with the organic component differently than in natural tissues, which worsens the adhesion of the filling with enamel and dentin. Research makes it clear what the “ideal” material for fillings should be, which will not only accurately imitate a natural tooth, but also last almost forever.
