Alkali substances can weaken tooth enamel, making it more susceptible to erosion and decay. Continued exposure to alkalis from sources like soda and acidic foods can contribute to dental issues such as enamel erosion and cavities. It's important to limit consumption of these substances and maintain good oral hygiene to protect your teeth.

How does toothpaste work in terms of neutralisation?

By applying the base (an alkali is a base that is soluble in water) to the acid, a neutralisation reaction occurs. Therefore, it will prevent your teeth from being eaten away by the natural acid produced by your mouth.">The toothpaste acts as an alkali against the acid produced by your mouth that coats your teeth.
