Experts have pointed that the two factors - too little saliva and inadequate fluoride - and not good dental hygiene alone, that necessarily stop tooth enamel from decaying.
Saliva- It supplies high levels of calcium and phosphate particles that enhance protection of the tooth's enamel surface, which protects the teeth.
Scientists Develop Toothpaste That Rebuilds Tooth Enamel
British scientists have developed a toothpaste that they claim contains a liquid form of calcium and can help in treating sensitive teeth by rebuilding the tooth enamel.

But, certain medical conditions - Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder, diabetes and HIV or AIDS - or their treatments can lead to dry mouth.
Inadequate fluoride: The exposure of teeth to this mineral can be increased through drinking fluoridated water and brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpastes.
New Discovery to Help Tooth Enamel Damage
A novel discovery that may help in repairing damaged tooth enamel has been made by scientists from University of Illinois at Chicago.

Tooth Enamel Eaten Away By Popular Drinks
The high acid content in popular drinks could just be sufficient enough to erode tooth enamel and cause dental damage, suggests a new study conducted by researchers at University of Iowa.
