I used to drink a lot of fizzy drinks and now my teeth are damaged, what can I do?

Q.
Dear Mark
I’m 14 years old and used to have an addiction to fizzy drinks (Coca Cola) also not that much effort put in to brushing my teeth. There yellow and starting to erode where the two teeth and the gum meet. Getting a bit brown only a small bit. What can be done to help my teeth. Maybe not Cosmic service something else to freshen them up. I’m only drinking water and milk, no sweets and brushing my teeth 3 times a day.
A.
Thank you for your enquiry.

It’s great that you brush your teeth 3 times a day, just ensure you are very gentle when brushing your teeth as this can contribute to erosion.

You may be able to have some composite bonding placed over the erosion to protect them and also make your teeth look nicer.

I would recommend you visit your dentist and ask them all your options.

Black tea, green tea, red wine and then coffee. Tea without milk is the biggest stainer. Soy sauce can also stain teeth.
