Hi,
Dental issues do not cause acid reflux. I suggest you meet a Gastroenterologist and start on medication.
As of the teeth becoming flat, it sounds like due to the acid reflux, you have developed a teeth grinding habit which is mostly when you are asleep. Meet a dentist and get a clinical evaluation done and start treatment if required. Take an x-ray OPG.
