Dental Erosion
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is a good idea to pay attention when the teeth look more sensitive, shiny, or worn than usual. Dental erosion is the gradual loss of enamel due to the action of acids, and it is different from cavities.
What is it?: It consists of the progressive wearing away of the tooth surface, which may be caused by acidic foods and drinks, certain digestive conditions, or other factors.
Common signs: Increased sensitivity to cold or heat, changes in the color and shine of the teeth, and edges that look thinner.
Which specialist treats it?: The dentist evaluates the condition of the enamel; the periodontist, the restorative dentistry specialist, and the pediatric dentist take part depending on age and the case. If you notice these changes in your teeth, a professional checkup will help you care for them in time.
