Tooth Erosion Treatment in Bexhill-on-Sea

Tooth erosion — the loss of enamel caused by acid — can lead to sensitivity, discolouration, and even tooth damage. At Sea Road Dental Practice in Bexhill, we offer expert diagnosis and treatment plans to stop enamel wear, protect your teeth, and restore your smile.

​

What Is Tooth Erosion?

Tooth erosion happens when acids wear away the enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth. This is different from decay caused by bacteria. Acidic food and drinks, acid reflux, and certain health conditions can all contribute to enamel loss.

​

Common Signs of Tooth Erosion

• Increased tooth sensitivity (especially to hot or cold)

• Yellowing or discolouration of teeth (as enamel thins)

• Rounded or translucent edges

• Chips, cracks, or roughness on the tooth surface

• Dents (cupping) on the biting surfaces of teeth

If left untreated, erosion can lead to more serious damage and the need for restorative treatment.

​

How We Treat Tooth Erosion

Our approach to treating tooth erosion includes:

1. Detailed Examination — to assess enamel loss and identify the cause.

2. Custom Prevention Plan — advice on diet, oral care, and lifestyle changes to reduce acid exposure.

3. Fluoride Treatments — to strengthen remaining enamel.

4. Restorative Options — such as composite bonding, veneers, or crowns if needed to rebuild damaged teeth.

Your treatment is tailored to the severity of erosion and your individual needs.

​

🥤 What Causes Tooth Erosion?

• Frequent consumption of soft drinks, fruit juices, or wine

• Acid reflux or frequent vomiting (including from eating disorders)

• Dry mouth (reducing natural acid neutralisation)

• Aggressive brushing immediately after eating or drinking acidic foods

​

🧼 Prevention Tips for Healthy Enamel

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste

• Avoid brushing immediately after acidic meals or drinks

• Drink water after acidic food and rinse your mouth

• Use a straw when drinking soft drinks or juices

• Regular check-ups to catch early signs of erosion
