Enamel erosion ?
Hi, I am 23.
The front 4 teeth on my upper jaw have a translucent layer on them. Please see pictures and suggest if this is enamel erosion. At my last dental checkup, dentist did not say anything (I didn't ask either).
I am using oral b 100 electric toothbrush. If it is enamel erosion what to do ?
Hello dear. At this age enamel errosion in not common. If you dont feel sensitivity than just take care. Dond use hard brush. Use soft and medium brush. One thin you can do to prevent further damage. Limit sour food.
Hope it will help

Need to know, do you feel any sensitivity in that area.
Enamel erodes due to many reasons. Most common reason is brushing too hard or brushing for too long.
