Acidic foods: You should try to a kid acid foods, such as lemon, orange, grapefruits, etc. If you do eat them, try to drink water immediately after consuming acidic foods.

"Transparent Teeth": Teeth start to get "transparent" mainly due to acid erosion. There are two kinds of acid erosion, first due to extrinsic factors, mainly the excessive consumption of acidic food such as, oranges, fruit juices, carbonated drinks (coke, etc.), etc. And the second due to intrinsic factors (internal or from the body) such as acid reflux and bulimia.
