Damage To Your Teeth

Dental decay is often due to our diets. For example, damage to the front teeth is most likely from sugary beverages and foods.
However, an erosion of the enamel on the teeth that are at the very back of the mouth can be caused by acid reflux, a problem that many people aren’t aware of until their dentists point it out. Other symptoms of acid reflux include a foul taste in the mouth, frequent sore throat, and frequent coughing. Untreated reflux can cause further tooth decay and also lead to esophageal cancer.
