Greetings !!! I have gone through your problem there is no product to regrow your enamel but enamel calcification quality can be improved by using a paste called toothmin,
Use soft brush , and no need to brush for long time only 2 min of brushing with proper technique is enough.
Dont use horizontal brushing use vertical brushing insted in seperqte upper and lower jaw
If you have some acid reflux problem then it may also affect your enamel, avoid carbonated soft drinks.
Hope this will help you

Hi,
There is a solution to every problem so don't worry.
Enamel doesn't regrow. What we can do is first prevent it form getting damaged further and second reconstruct what's lost.
Modify your habits-
- Change your brushing style from horizontal to vertical.
- Use a soft tooth brush.
- Use a gel toothpaste or if your teeth feel sensative, use an antisensitive toothpaste.
- If you suffer from acidity you have to keep it under check.
- Avoid foods like, sour foods or drinks, carbonated drinks, fried foods and too much sugary foods.
- Do not eat snacks before or after meals.Having snacks sometime before or after meals keeps oral pH low for longer and weakens enemel.
