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.

  • First visit to Chris Roberts was a very thorough check-up and clear treatment plan detailed. Second visit today to Terri Weir, Hygenist. Again, a very thorough examination, explanation and advice. Very pleased indeed with the 'service with a smile' from all I have met at El-Nashar. Second visit to Chris Roberts for a replacement filling was very good. Procedure carried out without any discomfort and result a great improvement.

  • I am a new patient to the dental practice. Made to feel welcome, staff all friendly and guided me through all the processes. Felt very comfortable with all aspects. The dental practice looked very clean and modern. Definitely pleased I chose this dental practice as my ongoing dental treatment. I followed up with a visit to the hygienist, Terri. Took me through full procedure. No pain encountered. Explained benefits of brushing and provided dental appliances to assist. Mary took x rays. Again all perfect here. Now I've got my homework to do before my next visit in dental hygiene. Can't fault the dental practice.
