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


  • After my first visit today I can only say how pleased I am to have chosen El Nashar for my dental care. The staff who greeted me in reception were very welcoming and helpful and Chris was very thorough with my initial examination and explained everything in great detail to me. I really feel that I’m going to be very well looked after here and I’m looking forward to my next visit now to see the hygienist. Update…..I’ve now seen Terri my hygienist and she was amazing! Made me feel very relaxed and welcome. She explained my oral health results to me in great detail, answered any questions I had and informed me of how I can improve my oral hygiene myself with cleaning methods etc. I can’t rate my experience with Terri highly enough and I’m confident that I’m in the most competent and able hands with her for the coming years! Many thanks again to Terri and all the lovely staff at the practice.

  • Mark Neil has been our family dentist for decades. Throughout this time his professionalism and expertise has managed to maintain our problematic teeth. His calm and confident manner has allayed any nervousness or anxiety. I can highly recommend him. The practice is exceptionally well run. Visits are always on time and emergencies dealt with immediately. The reception staff are always pleasant and friendly.

  • After some bad experiences with Dentists in my early years, I am a person that does not like visiting dentists: Since moving to Devon, in 2019, I have regularly visited El-Nashar Dental Care and I must say that I have never had any issues here. The staff are friendly and supportive, they make me feel at ease and give a genuine impression of a caring, person centred and individualised service that takes account of my needs and makes me feel at ease. I always see the same Dentist (Lauren) and Hygienist (Fran) and they seem genuinely interested in me and my care. I never feel like 'just another patient' and feel looked after. I have given 5 stars because I always receive a 5 star service from the moment I enter the building to the moment I leave.
