What is Dental Erosion: Causes and Risks about?

Dental erosion is defined as acid-related loss of tooth structure without involvement of microorganisms. It can be caused by extrinsic acids from dietary and occupational sources, or intrinsic acids from gastric reflux. Factors like frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks, occupational acid exposure, and diseases affecting saliva increase erosion risk. A thorough clinical exam and patient history can identify risk factors to reduce acid exposure and erosion progression.
