Avoid Lemons and ACV to Heal Your Teeth!

I've always noticed that immediately after consuming lemons, limes, oranges or ACV (apple cider vinegar), my teeth would feel "weaker" or thinner.  Below is a video by Foods4Health on healthy foods damaging your teeth, lemon and ACV are two of the foods listed.
Why do lemons and ACV cause tooth decay?
The danger apple cider vinegar poses to your teeth and gums comes from its high acidity. Braggs, the most popular brand of unfiltered and organic apple cider vinegar, clocks in with a pH level of 2.85. To put that in perspective, the pH scale runs from 1-14, any pH level lower than 7 is considered acidic. This puts ACV above soda, on par with lemon juice, and just under stomach acid and battery acid in terms of acidity.Anything highly acidic like soda, grapefruit juice or apple cider vinegar that comes in contact with your teeth will wear down the protective enamel on them, leaving you far more likely to get a cavity. Simply drinking apple cider vinegar leaves your teeth in a dangerous position, but treating it like mouthwash and intentionally washing the vinegar over all of your teeth is even worse which is what some people suggest.
If you like the benefits of ACV or lemon juice, try only eating them when you are eating seafood drenched in ghee or butter.
Dr. Ringer, a dentist in Anaheim, California recommends these tips for minimizing enamel loss while using ACV :

• Dilute the apple cider vinegar shot in another liquid—preferably water.
• Drink it through a straw so the vinegar doesn’t make contact with your teeth.
• Don’t swish the vinegar around in your mouth.
• Rinse your mouth out with water after you drink the vinegar.
• Don’t brush your teeth immediately after drinking ACV.
• Don’t eat or drink other acidic things—like orange juice, grapefruit, or tomatoes—immediately after ACV.

Personally, I prefer to try to avoid lemon and ACV as much as possible and if I do have some lemon juice I will make sure I consume plenty of calcium rich foods like raw cream or cheese immediately after.  I almost never consume ACV but I find it wonderful as a hair rinse or to rub all over sore muscles before a shower.

I hope this information helps your teeth become stronger and you feel better! Don't give up and EAT BUTTER!
