2. __Enamel can be damaged by several factors__, including diet, genetics, environment, teeth grinding, and acid reflux.
3. __You can help protect your enamel by practicing good oral hygiene__, which includes brushing with an electric toothbrush twice per day and using fluoride toothpaste, going to the dentist regularly, and watching what you eat and drink.
