Erosion is the action of dietary acids on teeth. Unlike the acid that is produced by bacteria in the mouth, which act on only a small area of the tooth, dietary acids or acid from the stomach, bathe the whole tooth in acid. This acid, again dissolves the mineral in the tooth. It however acts on the whole tooth reducing the thickness of the enamel covering the tooth. When the enamel is penetrated and the inside dentine is exposed it can produce a lot of tooth sensitivity. Erosion can result in the loss of large amounts of tooth tissue causing pain and tooth disfigurement and can be very difficult to treat.
