enamel

In 1952, San Francisco and Antioch became the first communities in California to supplement naturally occurring levels of fluoride in their drinking water, after a raft of studies showing that the mineral made teeth enamel stronger and more resistant to acid.

L.A. artist and landscape designer Bianca D’Amico’s clever enamel pin perfectly captures Southern California’s love for our local wildflowers along with our concern about not destroying those flowers with too much love.

In Aspartame, the descriptions of the physical side effects of bulimia aren’t sugar coated, she is “rail thin in a polka dress” with “tooth enamel dissolved by stomach acid”.

And if you're concerned about any impact to teeth enamel, one trick is to follow sparkling water with a glass of still.

Sparkling water is more acidic than still water, and acidity can soften the teeth's enamel.
