People should brush their teeth using a soft bristled toothbrush for at least two minutes, twice a day. They should also refrain from brushing immediately after eating or drinking anything acidic, as this causes the enamel to be more vulnerable to wear over time and can lead to duller and yellowing teeth. If you suffer from tooth sensitivity, gum disease or gum recession, however, an extra soft toothbrush head may be a better option. This is because brushing too hard (known as ‘toothbrush abrasion’) can actually wear away your tooth enamel and result in, or exacerbate, sensitive teeth – and an extra soft toothbrush head can help you maintain a gentle touch. 1 For those experiencing mild or advanced gum disease, and/or symptoms such as swollen, tender or bleeding gums, it may also be painful to brush with a firmer toothbrush head. 2,3

A regular oral health care routine is essential for helping to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against erosion. This includes brushing twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste 3 – ideally one that has been specially designed to help protect your tooth enamel from further damage, like Pronamel.Not only can acid erosion threaten the long-term health of your teeth, it can also affect their appearance. As it wears away your enamel over time, acid erosion can expose the dentine layer underneath, causing a dull, yellow-ish discolouration in your teeth. If your enamel has been eroded, you may also start to experience sensitivity or pain when consuming hot and cold food and drinks, or find that the biting edges of your teeth are becoming worn down. Unfortunately, enamel loss can also mean that you are at a greater risk of developing cavities (holes in your teeth) later on. 1,2
