Dental Benefit – Acid Reflux
Question: This past month I have been getting really bad acid reflux on an off. I take good care of my teeth but since I never had acid reflux so long before I am worried that it may start causing damage to my teeth. Is there any extra care I should be taking during this time?
Reply: Try and brush right after having any acid reflux that come up in your mouth and touches your teeth. The acid over time can wear down your tooth enamel.
If you can not brush then rinse out your mouth with water or drink a glass of milk as milk will help cut the acid
Normally this will not happen over night so if you have a short bout of acid reflux you should not have to worry about your teeth being effected by it.
