Tooth enamel is the hard, protective outer layer of your teeth. While it’s the hardest substance in the human body, it can still be worn down over time—especially by what you eat and drink. Enamel erosion can lead to sensitivity, discoloration, cavities, and even tooth loss if not addressed.

Here’s a breakdown of foods and habits that can damage your enamel:

🥤 1. Acidic Beverages

These are the biggest culprits of enamel erosion due to their high acid content.

  • Soft drinks (sodas) – even the sugar-free types contain phosphoric and citric acid.
  • Citrus juices – like orange juice, lemonade, grapefruit juice.
  • Sports drinks and energy drinks – they are often highly acidic and sugary.
  • Sparkling water with citrus flavors – especially if consumed frequently.

🧪 Why?
Acidic drinks soften enamel, and over time, frequent exposure can wear it away.
