Erosions

What are dental erosions?

Tooth erosion is a gradual process in which the hard tooth substance is gradually broken down by direct contact with acids. Common sources of acid are acidic drinks such as energy drinks and cola. But acidic foods and gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn) can also cause erosion. The protective layer of tooth enamel is attacked and the underlying tooth structures become more susceptible to damage.

The symptoms of tooth erosion

The symptoms of dental erosion are varied and should not be ignored. Look for signs such as toothache, increased sensitivity to hot, cold or acidic foods, discolored teeth, flattened tooth shapes, translucent teeth, cracks in the tooth enamel and gum problems. If you notice such symptoms, it is important to act early to prevent further damage.
