Tooth Erosion



#Sensitivity, discoloration, #translucency, cracks, rounded teeth, small dents or cupping on chewing surface of teeth are some of the signs of erosion.

To avoid erosion: 

 -cut back carbonated drinks & try to replace them with water, milk, unsweetened tea or coffee. 

 -instead of snacking throughout, save acidic food items for meal times to reduce their contact with teeth, it also helps neutralize acids by consuming with other foods. 

 -drinking through straw minimizes contact between acidic beverages and tooth surface. 

 -cash in on “calcium”, as it might reduce the #erosive potential of beverages and might also help in remineralization. 

 -avoid eating before bed time, because saliva flow is decreased while we sleep and it takes about an hour for saliva to reduce the #acidity in your mouth. So it’s best to finish your dinner for at least about an hour before going to bed. 

 -don’t rush to brush! Wait for about half an hour or more after sipping a drink to give time to #re-mineralize or re-harden the softened enamel surface. Brushing right away might remove tooth #surface.
