I was wondering what are the signs of enamel erosion on teeth?

Shape change: If enamel is eroded, it is, by definition, being worn away for sonme mechanical or chemical reason. So, a change of shape and/or size of a piece of enamel is a sign.

Acid: Wearing away of teeth structure usually caused by acid and bacteria is primarily a typical sign of erosion not just of enamel but of dentin as well. People suffering from gerd commonly get cavities on the cervical or neck part of the teeth where enamel is thinner.
