My Incisors (front teeth) are eroding exposing dentine. How can I stop this?


Hello! My incisors are thinning, becoming translucent and sharp. They have curly edges and the ridges on the edges seem to lead to fine cracks. I have had symptoms of GERD(Gastroesophageal reflux disease) for a long time. But of late the symptoms have abated, nevertheless the erosion is constant. Doctors I've consulted really don't know how teeth could erode. They think it's absurd. They don't know anything about GERD. That's how doctors are trained in India. My incisors are getting shorter. I don't grind my teeth. Is there any simple way I can hinder this erosion. Is there a way to cap my teeth because they seem pretty fragile now and i don't like short incisors. Thank you.

Ger syndrome is often associated with teeth erosion mainly palatel sides of upper insisors.its also seen in anorexia bulemia and other condition which create more acidic condition in mouth and the teeth get eroded at the thinnest parts initially.
its not fair to blame the training in india but the attitude of dentist and patient has to change.
Ok treatment options,
You can opt for a cmposite fillings,(most conservative if you have enough of tooth material left)
ceramic veneers
or crowns as you wish...
you could find a lot of updated dentists in india but has to have money.and time ...

Talk to your dentist about vaneers or caps. Get a consultation from more than one dentist as to what your options are. Good luck. :)
