iv jus brushed my teeth and noticed there are two

Q. hi iv jus brushed my teeth and noticed there are two dull patches on my front teeth,it looks like the enamel has come away and feels slightly rough when i rub my tongue along them. is this permenant or can my dentist polish them smooth? im worried thier going to be porus to staining now? thank-you rachel x

A. Hi Rachel

Tis sounds like erosion of the enamel. You should be able to have white filling bonded over the efect or if more severe porcelain veneers. If the patch is very small you should be able to ask your dentist to smooth it over
