Everyday I drink a tablespoon of vinegar with a cup of water, I was wondering if this could damage my enamel?

All acids in the mouth will wear down your enamel. Swishing water is not a good substitute for brushing.

Yes, it erodes tooth enamel. (usually citrus fruit)\nSaliva usually neutralizes the acid. So just don't over do the fruit juices.  Also don't brush your teeth right after you have orange juice or any acidic fruit!\nThe enamel is softened by the acid and you can cause more damage with a tooth brush. Just rinse your mouth with water if your worried about it. Wait about 1/2 an hour or longer before you brush.

The vinegar probably just killed alot of your vagina's good bacteria and you may be well on the road to an infection of sorts, this happens when you disrupt vaginal pH balance. You could use some Gynecort or Vagisil but the ultimate healer is oxygen! As much as possible avoid nylons in hose and panties, wear cotton try not to wash that area with anything but warm water, and try to avoid any more douching or other than normal cleansing and it should go away and stay away.

Depends on your lifestyle. If you brush really hard, do drugs, are bulimic, or eat a lot of lemons/high acidic foods, then yes it would probably be a good idea b/c these things can weaken the tooth enamel and flouride strengthens it. If none of those apply then brushing with a toothpaste that has flouride in it is fine.

I think it depends on how you drink it and what you do in between. Using a straw should do less damage. Sipping throughout the day should be the worst as you keep the teeth covered constantly. So to improve your intake without doing too much damage to your teeth (I am not talking about other areas of the body) I would think you should drink more fewer times a day and use a straw. In between chew gum or eat some other stuff that neutralizes the sugar and acid. I would also talk to a dentist first, as she can better judge how vulnerable your teeth are.

Be careful with those white strips.  The peroxide they use damages the tooth enamel.  I would say get Go Smile instead.  More expensive, but better results and no tooth damage.

use hot water and vinegar, it will clear it up then use it once in a while to keep it clear

Some whitening toothpastes are more abrasive and can wear down the enamel of your teeth causing more sensitivity. Because the enamel is being brushed away, it can also cause darkening/yellowing of the teeth since the second layer of a tooth is dentin and has a darker color.\n\nSome mouthwashes have a high content of alcohol and is not recommended for recovering alcoholics. Also, it can be very irritating and can cause the inside of your cheeks to slough off.

Your mouthwash might be irritating the insides of your cheeks.  Usually mouthwashes have a high concentration of alcohol.  I have to dilute mine with water whenever I rinse. You should also check and see if your toothpaste is irritating you, too.\n\nTry stopping the mouthwash and see if you stop sloughing. If not, then, it's your toothpaste.\n\nNothing to be overly concerned with. Just switch toothpaste brands to see which one works the best.

If you are using it as a mouthwash or to brush your teeth, it won't hurt if you spit it out but a little goes down accidentally.  However, you should not swallow it deliberately!  H2O2 is poison if you get very much of it.

You should go to your dentist and have a cleaning so any extrinsic stains, caused by such things as smoking and drinking dark beverages, can be removed.  Also, try and avoid those things that cause staining of the teeth.  I would not advise using any whitening toothpastes.... they are not going to change the shade of your teeth & they are very abrasive and can be potentially harmful to the enamel of the teeth.  Make sure you have good oral hygiene habits by brushing 2-3 times per day, flossing at least once per day and seeing your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and exam.  If you are interested in whitening, see your dentist as there are no over-the-counter whitening products that have been approved by the ADA (American Dental Association).

Hi, Crest white Strips will take the enamel(sp?) of of your teeth. The enamal protects your teeth. I recommend not to use them. It works beutifully, but here are some homemade methods that are great!\n\n1)It's not a myth...baking powder works like magic, I personally have used it. Baking soda is a natural bleach, so it actually can not do any harm for you!\n\n2)Have you tried hydrogen peroxide (Sp?). It too works great. If you mix them together on your toothbrush you will have a white smile. (It is recommend not to use the hydrogen poroxide more than 3 times a week)\n\nAnyways, give it a try...and I hope it helps! \n\nP.S. By the way many people use lemon juice. DO NOT use this. It is too citrusy for your teeth and can eat away at them. Good luck! :)
