Tooth erosion: Causes and prevention Unlike #tooth decay caused by bacteria action, tooth erosion occurs as the result of too much acid in the mouth. Tooth erosion causes mineralization of enamel (the outermost layer of the teeth) which protects it from chewing abrasion, erosive action of chemicals and acids, and temperature variations. The irreversible damage of enamel occurs when teeth are exposed to acidic contents for a longtime (de-mineralization). Under natural circumstances, the saliva neutralizes the acid in the mouth hence the onset of the remineralization. Read More- helium/items/2139659-tooth-erosion-causes-and-prevention
