How to Make Your Teeth Stronger Naturally?

It is a common belief that loose teeth occur just in children. But that is not so. According to studies, adults can also have loose and weak teeth. However, there are ways you can make your teeth stronger naturally. 

Keep reading to learn more about how to make your teeth stronger naturally and contact Dr. Lemmon at Picacho Family Dental Implant Center of Yuma, Arizona, for more advice on how to maintain your dental health.

What Makes Teeth Weaker?

Here are some factors that lead to weak teeth:

  • Erosion

Enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body and it protects your teeth from wear and tear. But, when your teeth are subjected to excessive acidic and sugary foods, the enamel breaks down leading to weak teeth.

  • Bruxism

Bruxism is the grinding of teeth, especially while sleeping or when under stress. Persistent grinding leads to weak and worn-down teeth.

  • Genetics

People who have a family history of weak teeth are more likely to suffer from this condition themselves. This is known as Amelogenesis imperfecta, a genetic predisposition to weak teeth.

How to Strengthen Your Teeth Naturally?

Here are some expert tips on things you can do to have stronger teeth naturally:

  • Good Oral Hygiene

Simply brushing your teeth is not enough. When you brush, do so for around 2 minutes using gentle movements. Since a brush doesn’t reach all the corners of your mouth, don’t miss out on flossing. Stick to fluoride toothpaste and replace your brush every 90-120 days.

  • Eat Enamel-Strengthening Foods

According to an American Dental Association report, the foods you can choose to naturally strengthen your enamel include foods rich in calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin C.

  • Improve Your Digestion

Poor gut health doesn’t support the proper remineralization of the teeth. This is the process that replaces lost minerals and makes your teeth stronger. So, stay away from stress and treat your gastrointestinal issues.

  • Stay Hydrated

A dry mouth often leads to tooth decay, a common cause for weak teeth. Drink enough fluids daily to remove debris and bacteria from your teeth and gums.

  • See Your Dentist

Your dentist can spot signs of weak teeth that you may fail to see yourself. Therefore, dental checkups every 6 are essential if you want to keep your teeth strong.
