Acid erosion has damaged my teeth

[Anna01]

Hi, i wonder if you can advise me. I'm a 43 year old female and my dentist says i have acid erosion of my teeth.

He said many things can cause this, like fizzy drinks, or anorexic vomiting! Could you tell me what other causes are there as neither of these relate to me.

Im concerned as it is causing me teeth sensitivity. What should i do? How can i fix my teeth? Is there anyway that I could reverse the damage caused to my teeth by the acid erosion?

Other than stomach acids and fizzy drinks, citric fruits such as lemons and oranges could also cause acid erosion of teeth. some people suck on oranges and lemons and this can cause acid erosion damage.

You can see some pictures of tooth wear cases that we have treated on our cosmetic dentistry gallery.

Treatment usually involves identification of cause and prevention of further damage followed by rebuilding teeth with crowns, veneers and composite fillings.
