My dentists has noticed early signs of erosion on my teeth, what do you suggest I do?
Q.
On a recent visit to the dentist i was informed that my teeth are showing the first signs of erosion. He informed me that it was not bad enough for a filling and that it could be reversed by leaving toothpaste overnight. I have tried this but is rather sickly.

Is there anything else i can do ?
If the process has already started is it too late to have the fluoride varnish put on to reduce further erosion ?
On your website you mention fluoride gels, are these available in chemists ? can you recommend ?
A.
we recommend Colgate Duraphat 2800 or a stronger version 5000 to apply twice daily. You also need to avoid acidic or sugery foods

My teeth are too sensitive to hot, cold and acidic foods. Dr. what is your advice on solving this problem?.
I am having 6 crowns made due to acid erosion once 2 have been done i have to wait 8 weeks before another2 can be done why,
In some cases it might be related to settling the bite.
Hi, I have quite badly worn front teeth due to acid erosion. Can you advisewhat price I should expect to pay for porcelain veneers – front teeth only? Thanks
Hi, could you please provide a breakdown of cost for 4 porcelain veneers? Thank you

Dear dentist, I am looking for a rough price list for your dental vaneers, any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Yours sincerely
Hi There, I found your site on google and really want vaneers, or maybe teeth whitening. I would like them done as soon as possible and wondered do you do finance? I also need some fillings and wondered can you do this all atthe same time or would I have to see my own dentist first? I look forwardin hearing from you. Kind Regards
I would like a free consultation regarding porcelain vneers. Please could you contact me to make an appointment.
I was wondering what the prices are for dental veneers because it’s a procedure I’m considering getting done as I’ve already had braces and they didn’t help my teeth at all.
hi was wondering how much it costs per veneer on average?
I currently have a porcelain veneer on my left front tooth. I have had thisfor around 5 years and it has become discoloured, I have asked my dentistand I need a new one but they are wanting to charge me a lot. what Is the correct? Thanks
Hi i am emailing for a quote on enlighten teeth whitening and also two vaneers for the two teeth either side of the front middle teeth. I had these two teeth built up a few years ago and they need to be changed as the are slightly worn. thanks
Dear Dentist How do you restore the enamel on your teeth as I have abrasive scratches on my canines due to brushing vigorously in the past? Could whitening with hydrogen peroxide have caused this? Thank you
Best option is cosmetic bonding, good quality whitening products bought from a dentist will not cause this.

I am reacting to metal cutlery (spoons, forks etc), drinks with acid, hot beverages. My front teeth are the most affected. One has a slight horizontal crack on the biting edge and the other is slowly wearing off on the biting edge. on the biting edges. I am also reacting to noises, where metal pots, cutlery, sound o my high heels when walking on pavements, or someone dragging a cardboard box. i have also discovered i clench my teeth during the day and night not sure if it make noise during the night. Some of the teeth have developed a whiter layer on the bottom of the teeth, which could be signs of decay. My teeth are also not properly aligned .
Not really sure whats causing this so it would be good to see a dentist as soon as possible to perhaps first deal with the clenching or tooth grinding habit to see if that helps.
I have recently noticed that my front teeth have gone slightly transparent at the biting edges. I am concerned this is acid erosion, but I cannot work out why I would have this as I do not drink fruit juice, fizzy drinks or wine (the only drinks I consume are water, milk or unsweetened rooibos tea) or eat fruit. I also clean my teeth gently about three times a day and also use a mouthwash at night. Do you have any idea what this transparency might be?
It might be wear on the teeth caused by grinding, it would be worth asking your dentist to check things over with a view to wearing a bite guard
