Tooth erosion

You can avoid treatment for tooth erosion by preventing it from occurring in the first place. To do so, you should limit the contact of acids with your teeth. Here are tips to help you:

• Eat fruit instead of drinking fruit juice
• Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet
• Avoid juices and soft drinks and drink fluoridated water instead
• Seek dental erosion treatment for the management of vomiting or reflux
• Do not eat fruit between meals rather, eat it at mealtimes
• Limit the consumption of anything acidic and when you take it, reduce the time it stays in your mouth
• Avoid chewing vitamin C tablets. If possible, take vitamin C supplements that you can swallow whole
• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush with fluoridated toothpaste and avoid abrasive toothpaste
