What makes teeth weak and sensitive?
Acidity weakens enamel. Insufficient or mineral-poor (acidic) saliva leaves teeth unprotected and vulnerable to acidic attacks. Acidity corrodes tooth enamel and so it is important to remove acidity from teeth as rapidly as possible. To maintain healthy teeth, acidic damage can be quickly reversed by a natural tooth repair process called remineralization. If this damage is not reversed, teeth progressively weaken and become sensitive or stained. Weak teeth flake or break and grooves, cavities or lost fillings result.
