Tooth Wear

What causes it?

The common causes of tooth wear are:

  • Acids in the mouth
  • Wear from incorrect tooth brushing technique or a brush with firm bristles

The most common acid drinks that soften the tooth surface are:

  • Fresh fruit juices and smoothies
  • Fizzy drinks (diet and non-diet)
  • Wine/Prosecco
  • Beer/Cidre
  • Sports drinks

The following recommendations will help reduce tooth wear:

DOs

  • Clean gently with a soft toothbrush or ideally a powers oscillating tooth brush with a pressure indicator
  • Use a non-abrasive toothpaste – speak with your dental professional for further advice
  • Drink acidic beverages through a straw whenever possible
  • Use a fluoride mouthwash after acid food or drink whenever possible

Dont

  • Use a toothbrush with hard bristles
  • Scrub hard while brushing
  • Use an abrasive toothpaste e.g. smokers toothpaste
  • Brush your teeth immediately after acidic foods or drink

What Our Patients Say About Us


  • I met Andrew Pickering for my first appointment this week, having had Mr El-Nashar for many years. I found Andrew Pickering to be extremely thorough during my check-up and very polite and clear in his explanations. He was able to answer all of my questions showing extensive knowledge. The reception staff were very polite and professional, as always.

  • I am so happy to have discovered this dental practice, as having ongoing dental issues, it was the first thing I organised when I moved to Newton Abbot. Joanna is an amazing dentist who puts you at ease, explains everything clearly before and during the treatment and you leave smiling. She knows her stuff and I have full faith in her for my future treatment. My appointment with Fran was also excellent. She was thorough, friendly and gave me good aftercare advice.

  • I have nothing but praise for the El Nashar Dental practice. The whole team are very professional and friendly. Jo has done a fair amount of work over the years for me, and everything has been to an excellent standard. She takes a long term approach to my dental needs and I have full confidence in her work. As an anxious patient, Jo and her assistant, Mary are both also really caring and empathetic which is really important to me as I find any dental procedures quite stressful! Thank you.
