Pleasanton Dentist - Swimmers Teeth And Dental Problems - Smiles by Design in Livermore

SWIMMING
A study of 500 swimmers found 66 per cent of them had damaged teeth as a result of chlorine.
Chlorine affects the pH of the water and makes it acidic, so swallowing it can lead to tooth erosion.

‘This can result in yellowing teeth – because the acid strips the enamel and starts to reveal darker-coloured dentine underneath. It is not a common problem, but may be an issue for regular swimmers who spend a long time in the pool each day.’

REDUCE THE RISK: Try to keep your mouth closed while swimming. Don’t brush your teeth straight after your dip because at this time the surface of the teeth could be softened by the acidic chlorine and could be more easily brushed away.
