Erosion: Erosion can be caused from any continuous acid baths such as continuous use of fruit juices, carbonated soft drinks, gatorade, etc. It has nothing to do with your skeletal structure as erosion is a taking away of the enamel after it is formed.

Congetial defects: This could be congenital or possibly from acids in foods/drinks. You may be a candidate for protective restorations like veneers or crowns. Some people can be helped by re-mineralizing tooth pastes and fluorides.
