Solution
When the pH of our mouth falls below 5.5, tooth enamel suffers. This happens because the bacteria in our mouth converts sugar and food particles into acids, which corrode our teeth. To treat this, we should brush our teeth after eating using toothpaste that is basic in nature and will neutralise the effect, maintaining our teeth fit and fine.
