There are
several ways to tackle erosion if dietary acid is the cause.
- Removing fizzy drinks/juices
from the diet or consuming them only at mealtimes.
- Using a strew to bypass the
teeth.
- Using a proenamauel toothpaste
(e.g. Sensdyne proenamauel/Arm and Hammer with liquid
calcium).
- Using
a fluoride mouthwash during the day immediately after
consuming the acidic drink/food
Other tooth wear can be caused by
brushing your teeth to hard (Toothbrush abrasion).
Soft bristled manual toothbrushes
or electric toothbrushes are helpful in correcting brushing
technique.
Simple ‘wear and tear’ over
years can also cause similar near facets in teeth known as
abfraction.
Grinding
your teeth can also lead to tooth wear and sensitivity known as
attrition. Please consult your dentist if you would like to know
more about these problems
