Although enamel is a hard protector of teeth, it can chip and crack. Enamel also insulates the teeth from potentially painful temperatures and chemicals.&nbsp;When it erodes, you may notice that you react more to hot or cold foods, drinks, and sweets, since they can get through holes in your enamel to the nerves inside.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3e803521-a473-48ea-8a49-ea2bfb76bb08-1-900x900.jpg\" alt=\"tooth erosion due to french fries\" class=\"wp-image-7173\" style=\"width:436px;height:436px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"091e9c5e802d8124-1-2\">What is tooth erosion?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental erosion is\u00a0<strong>the loss of the surface of your teeth<\/strong>\u00a0due to the acids in food we eat or drink, or acids coming up from the stomach. These acids can dissolve the crystals that make the teeth; leading to tooth surface loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surfaces are smooth, hard, and polished. Erosion generally affects a group of teeth. In the early stages, it may be confined to the enamel, but it generally extends to involve the underlying dentin as well as the cementum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#fffffa;background-color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of Tooth Erosion that causes stain, wear, and tear:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dental stains:<\/strong> These are pigmented deposits on the teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hypersensitivity<\/strong>: Enamel erosion can cause symptoms like tooth stains and sensitivity.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/having-loose-teeth-save-moving-tooth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tooth Mobility<\/a><\/strong>: Due to tooth erosion, you may have slight physiological mobility of teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tooth Fracture<\/strong>: Erosion leads to loss of enamel and dentin, thus reducing the width of the tooth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Enamel erosion is a growing concern in clinical practice today, with&nbsp;<strong>46% of young adults already showing signs of enamel erosion<\/strong>.

Furthermore, consult your dentist for primary restorations with light-cure fillings or tooth-coloured fillings.

However, it doesn\u2019t have any living cells and is unable to repair itself if it undergoes physical or chemical damage. This means that enamel erosion isn\u2019t reversible, and the enamel won\u2019t grow back. However, enamel erosion takes a long time. So even if you already have some enamel erosion, you can prevent it from becoming worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tooth enamel is the hardest tissue in the body. The problem is, that it&#8217;s not living tissue, so\u00a0<strong>it can&#8217;t be naturally regenerated<\/strong>. Unfortunately, you can&#8217;t regrow it artificially, either &#8212; not even with those special toothpastes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"504\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screenshot-2021-06-22-at-1.03.43-PM-504x900.png\" alt=\"Stained Teeth\" class=\"wp-image-3435\" style=\"width:223px;height:396px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stained Teeth Crowns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royal Dental Clinics has heavily invested in the latest dental technologies from across the globe.
