Tooth Erosion and Worn Teeth

The hottest item on the Dental Hit parade is dental tooth erosion and wear as it is related to carbonated beverages and flavored water. It is happening across the country and across the world. As a northern virginia cosmetic dentist i have seen it happen to soooo many people, young and old. As more beverage companies develop more ways for us to drink more water you will see that most fruit flavored water has citric acid in it. If you are drinking lots of these flavored waters you might want to limit yourself to 2-3 bottles a week as it is essentially an acid wash that literally washes away the enamel. Carbonated beverages are also a source of enamel erosion, the tiny bubbles that fizz in our mouths bubble away tooth structure about as fast! So be careful, as your dentist I am happy to discuss this further with you. Look in our newsletter for an update too.

Have a great Holiday!
