"Improperly maintained pool chlorination in swimming pools can cause rapid and excessive erosion of dental enamel," says Dr. Leila Jahangiri , clinical associate professor and chair of the Department of Prosthodontics at the New York University College of Dentistry. "It is a difficult balance to maintain pools properly, and proper pool chlorine and pH levels need to be monitored and maintained on a weekly basis. If chemical levels are not properly maintained, pool water contact with teeth can cause serious enamel erosion."
Case studies show that serious enamel erosion occurs when the pH of the water ranges between 2.7 or acidic and 7.0 or neutral. The more acidic the water and the longer the exposure to the acidity of the water, the more likely the erosion of the enamel. The signs and symptoms of tooth erosion include teeth discoloration and tooth sensitivity. As the white enamel that protects the teeth is eroded away, the underlying dentin, the softer, yellow and sensitive part of the tooth, is exposed, making the teeth appear more yellow and feel more sensitive. If you notice any of these changes and swim frequently, visit Dr. Dulski at Adult Dentistry of Rochester for a free exam and consultation to learn how to minimize and repair the damage.

Now that you mention it, I have noticed that!
ReplyDeleteFor my daily relaxation and exercise I am swimming daily in the pool for half an hour. Now after this information I am thinking to alternate my swimming with some other exercise to avoid erosion.
ReplyDeleteI went swimming at the local Y this morning. I think I felt the enamel peeling off my teeth! I just forwarded a copy of Dr. Dulski's editorial to the Y.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if the Y's water is in compliance. Still, it won't hurt for the Y to have another good reason to keep the pool's water weekly monitored and corrected accordingly.
This is helpful information. Now I understand why the pH of swimming pools must be checked frequently.
ReplyDeleteIn the past I’ve had a few less than acceptable maintenance services for my pool. A few months ago, a friend suggested I try Miami Pool Tech in South FL. I did, and I’m happy to say that their services are excellent. They were professional, friendly, and very responsive to all my concerns and questions.
