In this video, Dr Bernard Siew from Dental Designs Clinic in Singapore breaks down the causes, early warning signs, and prevention of acid erosion to help protect your tooth enamel over time.

About The Video

Drawing from his clinical experience, Dr Bernard explains how everyday habits—from eating citrus fruits and drinking soft drinks to intense workouts—can drop oral pH levels below 5.5 and silently dissolve enamel. He details the early, subtle signs of acid wear, including translucent edges, discolouration, and tooth sensitivity.

The video also explores practical post-meal strategies to minimise erosion and examines the role of remineralising agents like fluoride and hydroxyapatite toothpastes in supporting enamel strength.

This video highlights a common but frequently undetected issue: enamel wear caused by acid erosion. Dr Bernard clarifies why diligent brushing alone isn't always enough and how microscopic damage can occur without immediate pain. Viewers will gain actionable, evidence-based tips on post-meal care, dietary awareness, and effective toothpaste ingredients to prevent long-term damage. A vital watch for anyone looking to maintain strong, healthy teeth and safeguard their smile.
