Acid reflux can wear your
enamel away and create pits
that look like “moon craters”
on the chewing surfaces of
your teeth. This is also called
“cupping.”
What is tooth erosion?
Enamel (e-NAM-ul) is the hardest outside layer of your tooth that protects a softer inner
layer. Tooth erosion (ee-ROW-zhun) happens when the enamel begins to wear away,
exposing the inner layer of the tooth, called dentin.
When the enamel thins out, your tooth protection is weakened and the inside layers can
be exposed to more acid and bacteria. This puts you at a greater risk of having problems
like sensitive teeth, decay and cavities.
Acid causes tooth erosion
Tooth erosion happens from several causes that
have one thing in common — acid. If your teeth
come in contact with acid on a regular basis, the
acid can attack your tooth enamel and start to
cause erosion. There are many ways that acid
can reach your teeth, such as:
• Drinking beverages that have high levels
of acid. This includes sodas, fruit juices,
sports drinks and energy drinks.
• Acid reflux/GERD. Acid reflux happens when
acids from your stomach travel up your throat
and into your mouth. Heartburn is how people
sometimes describe acid reflux. If you have
heartburn most days or nights, you may have
gastroesophageal reflux disease, also called
GERD. This acid from your stomach can cause
erosion on the inside surfaces of your teeth.
• Frequent vomiting. People with an eating
disorder known as bulimia force themselves
to vomit frequently (also called purging).
Morning sickness during pregnancy also
causes vomiting. Vomiting causes stomach
acids to come in contact with your teeth.
With frequent vomiting, the stomach acid can
weaken and wear away your tooth enamel,
especially on the upper front teeth.
