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


  • Everyone at this practice is very friendly and helpful. I am terrified of dentists but have been seeing Mark shortly after he started here. He is the best dentist I have ever had and the longest one I've stayed with. He treats me not just my teeth. The first dentist who has ever done that . Can't praise enough. Thank you Mark.

  • Although having to have 2 teeth extracted today, I can’t praise Chris Robert’s and his dental nurse (apologies for not knowing her name) enough for the care I was given. Everything about the procedure was explained fully in a caring and professional manner and I can honestly the procedure went so much better than I expected. I felt no pain and can highly recommend this dental practice. Thank you

  • As a family we are new clients to El-Nashar, first my wife in 2024 and now (after a wait - they're popular!) myself and the two children. We've all had appointments, and a couple of us some subsequent remedial treatments and the service is excellent! Very glad that they finally had some availability! If you're looking for excellent dental care in and around the Newton Abbot area, look no further!
