Tooth erosion is the progressive loss of enamel due to chemical acids rather than bacterial activity. Common culprits include acidic beverages (soda, citrus juices), acid reflux, frequent vomiting (as seen in bulimia or morning sickness), and even overbrushing with abrasive toothpaste.

At Swiss Dental, we take a proactive approach to identifying early signs of erosion, such as sensitivity, translucency at the edges of teeth, thinning enamel, or cupping on chewing surfaces. Our diagnostic tools, including intraoral cameras and digital scans, help monitor changes over time.

Treatment depends on the extent of the damage. In the early stages, we may recommend fluoride treatments, enamel-rebuilding pastes, and dietary changes to protect what remains. In more advanced cases, we offer restorative options such as bonding, veneers, or crowns to rebuild structure and aesthetics.

Education is key. Our team will guide you in adjusting dietary and hygiene habits to prevent further enamel loss—like drinking acidic beverages through a straw, rinsing with water afterward, and waiting 30 minutes to brush.

If you’re experiencing sensitivity or notice visual changes in your teeth, don’t wait. Schedule an evaluation at Swiss Dental to catch erosion early and protect your enamel before it’s too late.
