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’ve always had a great experience at El Nashar Dental Care. The reception team are always welcoming, helpful, and make everything run smoothly from the moment you arrive. Maddison, the dental assistant, is fantastic—friendly and efficient. Fran, the hygienist, is brilliant and a pleasure to deal with. I’ve been treated by both Lauren and Andrew, and they’re both excellent dentists—professional, reassuring, and always take the time to explain things clearly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the whole team!

  • Fantastic dentist, wonderful staff and knowledge. You are well looked after and the attention to detail and advice on offer is night and day from my old NHS dentist. I've always had a slight fear of the dentist, I hate any work on my teeth, but my Hygienist, Terri, makes it a pleasure. Ultra careful, efficient and great advice to help me look after my teeth. Great practice, highly recommend to anyone who's lost NHS service, or just wants a good private dentist who will look after you.

  • 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.
