Q. Hello Dr., I read about enamel erosion on front teeth and I believe that this is my case, i have a few yellowish/transparent spots on my 2 front teeth. I read from one of your replies that I can’t restore the color with diet or habit, however what can I do to prevent more erosion and to at least keep it as is. thank you

A. Check your diet for acidic foods particularly fizzy drinks diet or otherwise. This is the cause of most erosion so reducing this will help prevent further enamel loss
