What is acid erosion? It is a form of tooth wear that is caused by acid softening the surface of the tooth’s enamel. Tooth enamel is the hard surface of the tooth and it can get temporarily softened by acids that are present in certain foods such as wine , balsamic vinegar , and surprisingly many fruits. This acidity is neutralised by saliva and with time the enamel hardens. But this process is slow and if the acid attacks happen frequently the tooth is vulnerable to acid erosion. The thinning of the enamel can actually be made worse by the action of brushing the teeth.  Sensodyne Pronamel is a toothpaste that has been designed with the specific intention to protect teeth from the effects of acid erosion. What are the signs of acid erosion? In the early stages of acid erosion Sensitivity to Hot and Cold Round appearance on the surface of the tooth Pale yellow appearance from the tooth thinning Advanced stages of acid erosion Darker yellow appearance of teeth Edges of tooth seem more transparent Sensitivity to Hot and Cold worsens Indentations on tooth surface Unfortunately you can not reverse the effects of acid erosion. If left untreated in the more advanced stages it may require treatment by a dentist and in severe cases extraction of affected teeth. What can be done to prevent acid erosion?
