    Not to mention a tiny fucking hole in them is one of the the most painful experiences in life which only ends if you see a dentist, wait for it to rot, or rip the tooth out yourself.

    And that’s not even mentioning how fucked the average persons diet is, it’s practically guaranteed to happen eventually, without intervention.

        Keeping acidic things on your teeth pulls out the flouride making them brittle over time. The flouride added to all kinds of stuff is meant to help with that but the effectiveness is questionable. Better to simply not keep acidic stuff in your mouth too long, and to clean your teeth with your tongue after or swish some water.

        Coke is famous for causing brittle teeth.

          doesnt work on the biting surfaces, need to invest an electric or sonic tooth brush for that. and regular cleanings from the dentists. also discourage the usage of whitening toothpaste.

              regular cleanings and probably mouthwash once in a while, and i use stannous flouride which is better than the regular kind.

              nHAP is allegedly used by the flouride free crowd without a significant efficacy since there is more than one company making nHAP, i noticed most of them are obsessed with stuffing it with abrasives, so be wary.
