Are your teeth eroding or wearing away?

Dental erosion is caused by acid originating from the external environment or from within our own bodies.  External dietary sources linked to erosion include soda drinks, diet drinks, alcohol and sour acidic foods.  If you are pregnant, have gastro esophageal reflux disease, or have an eating disorder, your body can produce high oral acid levels that can lead to tooth enamel erosion.  We can help you minimize dental erosion by reducing high oral acid levels.

Do you have white spots on your teeth?

The simplest way to avoid white spots from occuring is to avoid acidic foods and drinks.  For many patients, however, this is difficult to do and teenagers in particular may consume large quantities of soda, which can cause white spots in a short period of time.
