1. Introduction The daily consumption of acetic acid from apple cider vinegar lowers oral pH and directly induces demineralization of dental enamel. Tooth enamel, despite being the hardest tissue in the human body, is highly susceptible to chemical dissolution when repeatedly exposed to acidic environments. Apple cider vinegar has a low pH that falls well … Read more
