What is acid erosion?

It is a form of tooth wear that is caused by acid softening the surface of the tooth’s enamel.

Tooth enamel is the hard surface of the tooth and it can get temporarily softened by acids that are present in certain foods such as wine , balsamic vinegar , and surprisingly many fruits.

This acidity is neutralised by saliva and with time the enamel hardens. But this process is slow and if the acid attacks happen frequently the tooth is vulnerable to acid erosion. The thinning of the enamel can actually be made worse by the action of brushing the teeth. 

Sensodyne Pronamel is a toothpaste that has been designed with the specific intention to protect teeth from the effects of acid erosion.

What are the signs of acid erosion?

In the early stages of acid erosion

Sensitivity to Hot and Cold

Round appearance on the surface of the tooth

Pale yellow appearance from the tooth thinning

Advanced stages of acid erosion

Darker yellow appearance of teeth

Edges of tooth seem more transparent

Sensitivity to Hot and Cold worsens

Indentations on tooth surface

Unfortunately you can not reverse the effects of acid erosion. If left untreated in the more advanced stages it may require treatment by a dentist and in severe cases extraction of affected teeth.

What can be done to prevent acid erosion?

We are all vulnerable to the effects of acid erosion children and adults alike. So what can we do to protect ourselves?

After eating acidic food or drink wait as long as possible to brush your teeth.

Brushing the teeth regularly morning and night with a toothpaste like Sensodyne Pronamel will help re-harden softened tooth enamel

When drinking acidic drinks (wine, fuit teas) do not swish around your mouth, drink them as quickly as possible.

Visit your dentist regularly

How does Sensodyne Pronamel protect teeth from acid erosion?

Sensodyne Pronamel has been specifically formulated to help protect teeth from the effects of acid erosion. It works in a number of ways:

It has low abrasivity to limit further enamel wear during the process of toothbrushing

It is pH neutral (non-acidic) to be kind to tooth enamel

It is specially formulated for people with sensitive teeth – which can be a sign and a symptom of acid erosion

Sensodyne Pronamel is available in a 75ml pack

Other products in the range are Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening, Sensodyne Pronamel for children and Sensodyne Pronamel Mouthwash.
