How to strengthen tooth enamel?
What are some ways to strengthen my tooth enamel? I have heard that there are certain foods that strengthen and certain foods that weaken tooth enamel, is this true?
Are there any vitamins or minerals supplements that I can take to strengthen my teeth?
Thank you for your help.

Treatment of dental erosion depends on the severity of the damage. If the loss of tooth enamel is moderate without affecting the patient’s appearance, there is no need of restorative treatment. The dentist may recommend certain fluoride treatments and de-sensitizing toothpastes to control the tooth sensitivity symptoms caused by teeth erosion. Enhancing the re-mineralization process by providing minerals such as fluoride may be enough for natural tooth enamel restoration. The dentist may also apply a fluoride varnish on the affected teeth for further protection and repair of tooth enamel.
These toothpastes are in plentyful supply- Arm and Hammer Enamel Care, Sensodyne, Colgate Pro-Sensitive etc

drink a lot of skim milk. it's done wonders for me, even making cavities fix themselves!
I'm pretty sure youre supposed to stay away from coffee and sugary stuff. Taking prenatal vitamins probably couldnt hurt, but a calcium supplement should be sufficient if you dont want to do that. Be sure to get some sun too... no matter how much calcium you put in your body, it wont get absorbed without vitamin D (which you mostly get from the sun)!
