the irreversible loss of tooth structure due to chemical dissolution by acids
Creates a yellow or transparent appearance on your teeth
May experience sensitivity

Preventing Dental ErosionReduce acid exposure (frequency & contact time)
Dietary acids (Cola, Sports drinks, Tea, Juice)Medications (take with tap water)Alcohol
Avoid acidic foods & drinks:In between meals
Time for remineralisationLate at night
Saliva flow reduced
(Lussi & Hellwing, 2006, and Kargul & Bakkal, 2009)

4) Use soft toothbrush & low abrasion fluoride toothpaste
