<div class="bg"><strong>Q.</strong></p>
<p>                                I havefor some time noticed that I am losing enamel from the top of my top teeth near the gum line.  This is now becoming more pronounced and of some concern although eeth so far have not discoloured or causing any sensitivity, I am concerned about the long term effect.<br />
I am been advised by a local dentist to have fillings in the top of my teeth although I am concerned about this.<br />
Is this the only option or are there other options.  I thought I had read about an enamel replacement treatment.<br />
Many thanks&nbsp;</p></div>

<div class="bg"><strong>Q.</strong></p>
<p>                                Dear Dentist </p>
<p>I had my teeth whitening in surgery and my dentist used 27% Hydrogen Peroxide. Since then I run my tongue over my teeth and they feel slightly rough. I ca also see abrasive brush and scratch marks on the enamel in light on my canines. And when I run my nail over them they feel lumpy. I never studied or felt my teeth like this before but could a high level peroxide potentially burn or change the texture of your enamel? I feel as if I have damaged the structure of my teeth?</p>
<p>Also does tooth whitening with high level peroxide permanently make the enamel more porous and prone to cavities?</p>
<p>Thank you for your time</p></div>
