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.
