Nail polish , also known as nail polish , is a cosmetic product that is made with lacquer (a resinous substance). This type of polish is used to give color and shine to the nails.
The most popular nail polishes are red or pink, although there are many other color options. Once the polish is applied to your nails, it dries very quickly. When you want to remove nail polish, you can use a liquid known as nail polish remover , made from acetone .
glazed enamel
Glazed enamel usually consists of powdered glass that is fused to a substrate through the application of heat . The powder melts and then hardens, which can create a layer that covers a metal or ceramic piece, for example.
The application of this enamel protects the object it covers. It also gives it a shine that usually resists the passage of time. It is used in a wide variety of ceramic and porcelain products, such as cups, plates, vases, tiles, bowls, among others.
Glazed enamels are generally made from a mixture of inorganic materials , such as silica, feldspar, clays and various metallic oxides that provide particular colors and effects. They can vary in color , from bright and striking tones to more muted and subtle ones. In addition, they can have different textures, including smooth and shiny, rough or matte surfaces.
In order for the glaze to adhere correctly to the ceramic piece, it is necessary to subject it to high temperatures in a specialized oven. During the cooking process, it melts and turns into a glassy layer that adheres to the surface. The glaze provides a protective layer that makes the ceramic resistant to wear, water and stains. It also offers protection from the chemical action of certain foods and drinks.
teeth enamel
Tooth enamel is the material that protects the ivory present in the crown of the teeth . It is composed of hydroxylapatite and is in contact with the dentin in its internal sector, while its outer surface is in contact with the oral cavity.
Oral hygiene is the basis of caring for tooth enamel.
Taking care of tooth enamel is essential to maintain good oral health and prevent problems such as tooth sensitivity , cavities and premature tooth wear. Let's see there are some tips to achieve this goal:
- brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush;
- floss daily to clean between teeth and remove food debris and plaque that the brush can't reach;
- Acidic foods and drinks, such as citrus fruits, sodas, and acidic juices, can erode tooth enamel. Consume them in moderation and rinse your mouth with water after a short time;
- also limit the consumption of sugars, since they combine with bacteria in the mouth to form acids that damage tooth enamel and cause cavities;
- drink water with fluoride , which helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect against cavities;
- schedule regular dental checkups, at least twice a year, to detect dental problems in time and receive recommendations to better care for our tooth enamel;
- choose dental products that contain fluoride and are approved by dental experts;
