Hello sir, as you mentioned you are 31 years old and your teeth have already been attrited (got flat). There are different reasons for this one of them is lifestyle. And definitely acid reflux is associated with dental problems but there are various other reasons to have an attrited teeth. You need to visit a local dentist to get your teeth diagnosed and if you still think acidity is the problem you need to visit the physician to get to the root cause of your acidity.
Health Tips
Avoid acidic and alcoholic beverages or discontinue the use of vitamin c temporarily till the root cause is not known.

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.
