TEETH EROSION

Early Warning Signs of Teeth Erosion

Your teeth are the strongest bones in your entire body. This is owing to the fact that your teeth are covered with enamel�the hard, calcified tissue that protects them. However, enamel is vulnerable to the attack of acids.

Certain food and medicine may have very high acid content and will slowly cause tooth enamel loss. Also, frequent acid refluxes and having eating disorders raise the risk of an acid attack on the teeth. This acid attack leads to teeth erosion, the irreversible loss of enamel due to chemical processes.

Teeth erosion can cause mild tooth problems like sensitivity and discoloration, but it can also lead to severe dental problems like loss of teeth, teeth indentions and cracked teeth. It is thus important to detect the early signs of teeth erosion so that your dentist can address the same the earliest possible time. Here are some indications of teeth erosion:

Teeth discoloration

When the teeth are exposed to acid, yellowness or teeth discoloration may occur. If not addressed immediately, there is a chance that the discoloration will progress.

Teeth sensitivity

Whenever tooth is eroded and enamel is stripped away, the softer and more sensitive part of the tooth called dentin is exposed. Teeth, just like other parts of the body, contain nerves that cause pain when irritated.

Teeth deformation

At the onset of erosion, teeth may appear rounded. In addition, teeth may look sand-blasted. In this condition, the tips of the teeth look transparent.

The dentist is the answer

When you experience any of the aforementioned symptoms, the best thing to do is to book an appointment with your dentist and raise these concerns with him. Do not wait for the more severe symptoms of teeth erosion to manifest. Pay your dentist a visit so he can devise the treatment plan that could best work for you.
