Acid Erosion and Your Teeth


Download Video of Acid Erosion

The two main causes of Acid Erosion in the mouth is:
• Gastric Reflux
• Acid Foods, ie Carbonated Beverages, Energy Drinks, Citrus etc.

This can become a serious problem because the enamel is worn away and the enamel of your teeth is the strongest material in your body. When it’s gone it reveals a soft underlying material called the dentin. This can cause sensitive teeth and eventually significant loss of tooth structure resulting is chipping and fracturing of your teeth. This video shows what can happen and how it’s fixed.
