There are a few things in life that are just simply not fun. They are things that happen to some and not to others, and this is the area of health. I have discovered that there are some things that are flat out of your control and that your body decides for you. Now I am not saying that acid reflux is something that cannot be worked on, but it is something that some people have and others don't. The fact is that it can also do lots of damage to your body and especially your teeth if you are not careful. So I want to just go over some of the areas and talk about this tough condition to have.
In my life I have had a few really bad experiences with acid reflux and I would imagine that it is probably due to the health that I am in. The ohter night in fact I was awoken at 3:00 am in the morning. It was not due to a dog or a scary breaking sound in the house but to a crazy pain. I awoke to my throat burning. Instead of a nice waking feeling I simply felt pain in my throat. That was because my stomach has actually ended up sending acid into my mouth. My throat was burning and I started to caugh rather harshly. This was really hard because it awoke my spouse and I ended up having to leave the bedroom for up to an hour. I went to the sink and started to drink a lot of water, but it was a long time before my throuat stopped burning and I luckily had an anti acid pill in my pantry. This was the start of me looking into getting this taken care of because I know that it can cause a lot of other health issues.
Stomach acid is simply awful if it is not in your stomach. It burns and takes out tooth enamal like it was its job. That is dangerous because it is actually eating away at your body and if your dental health matters to you then this is really not a good thing. Many times it is simply food related and the amount of food you eat and the spicyness can cause bodies to have acid reflux. It really can ruin your night and your day due to lack of sleep and that is a whole different amount of issues all in itself. I highly suggest not allowing this to happen because it can be detramental to your teeth.
If you are allowing acid to eat away at your teeth on a weekly or in some cases daily basis then you can have major issues with your dental health. The ability to stay away from the dentist for emergencies is a gift and if you are allowing your teeth to be eaten away due to your own diet you may be spending a lot of money for emergency fillings and possible root canals. So try your hardest to allow your acid to not get into your mouth. Take acid pills if you eat foods that cause this to happen to you. It is common sense, but sometimes people need to be told that your teeth will be destroyed if they don't.
