With the advent of summer looming in sight, many women begin crash diets in effort to look thin and trim in their bathing suits.
Crash diets tend to include large amounts of raw foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
Vegetables may increase the risk of tooth erosion by the attrition of enamel and fruits are high in natural sugars which can also erode tooth enamel and cause cavities. Dr. Hausauer suggests using a soft-bristle tooth brush, floss regularly and rinse with a fluoride paste to protect against enamel erosion.
