• Teeth erosion, also called dental erosion, is a
  condition that happens when acidic substances
  start to wear away the enamel on your teeth. This
  can cause problems with your teeth, like
  sensitivity, discoloration, or even tooth decay.
  This article will tell you what tooth erosion is,
  why it happens, and how to stop it.
• What is teeth erosion?
• The hard outer layer of your teeth, called
  enamel, starts to wear away when you eat or drink
  acidic things. This is called tooth erosion. Even
  though enamel is the strongest thing in your
  body, acidic foods and drinks like citrus fruits,
  soft drinks, and sports drinks can still damage
  it. When the enamel is broken, it can expose the
  dentin, which is a softer, more fragile layer of
  your tooth. This can make your teeth sensitive
  and cause other dental problems.

• What Causes Teeth to Wear Down?
• There are many things that can cause teeth to
  erode such as
• Acidic Meals and Beverages
• As was already said, acidic foods and drinks are
  a common reason why teeth wear down. When you eat
  or drink these kinds of things, the acids can
  start to wear away your teeth's enamel, which can
  lead to erosion over time.
• Dry mouth 
• Because saliva helps neutralise the acids in your
  mouth, having a dry mouth can also cause your
  teeth to wear away. When your mouth is dry, there
  is less saliva to fight the acids, which can
  cause erosion.

• Acid Reflux
• Acid often comes up from the stomach and into the
  oesophagus and mouth of people with acid reflux
  or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). If
  this acid gets on your teeth often, it can wear
  away the enamel.
• Medications
• Some drugs, like antihistamines, antidepressants,
  and blood pressure meds, can make your mouth dry,
  which can wear down your teeth.
• Genetics
• Because of their genes, some people are more
  likely to have their teeth wear down. If your
  parents or siblings have had teeth erosion, it
  may be more likely that you will too.

  things. This includes things like oranges,
  lemons, and limes, soft drinks, sports drinks,

  contact with the drink. This can help stop
  erosion in the long run.

• Drinking Water
• If you drink a lot of water, you can wash away
  any acids in your mouth, which can help stop
  erosion.
• Chewing gum with no sugar
• Chewing gum without sugar can help you make more
  saliva, which can help neutralise the acids in
  your mouth and stop erosion.
• Using a toothpaste with fluoride
• Using a fluoride toothpaste can make your enamel
  stronger and less likely to wear away.
• Regular Dental Checkups
• When you get regular dental checkups, your
  dentist can look for early signs of erosion and
  take steps to stop it from getting worse.
