I had been fortunate to have had strong teeth all my life. I knew the enamels were .super strong so I didn’t worry. If my life were a movie this would be a good time for a juxtaposition. At age 92 my teeth suddenly began to break.
My dentist, Mark McCormick explained that Diet Coke did the damage along the gum line. He gave me a prescription for fluoride to stop further damage. His web site doesn’t reveal his credentials but since I had had a little chemistry in my quest for a masters and had attended Princeton University, I did ask a question that I hoped would not be too obvious. “What did we use hydrofluoric acid for? Before he answered he said, “I thought you were a physics major at Princeton!” Then he answered correctly and I was grateful for his knowledge. How many times do I have to be told to drink more water!
