A member asked:
What kind of damage does gastro intestinal reflux cause to teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Teeth and acid: Gi reflux can create a very acidic environment for your mouth. It can strip the enamel and lower your enamel on your tooth exposing the dentin which can cause sensitivity. Bacteria love to thrive in acidic environments as well, so cavities can form. See your dentist, he/she may prescribe a presc. Fluoride rinse to help a little. Also see a GI for the reflux.
