Enamel is your tooth’s first line of defense against decay. It protects the dentin and pulp within the tooth. If enamel becomes damaged, various dental issues can arise. Unlike other parts of the body, enamel doesn't regenerate once it’s lost. You can help maintain strong enamel through a healthy diet and good oral hygiene practices. Contact us at +1 703-556-9400.
