In this episode of Before & Beyond, Dr. Bernard Siew delves into the intricacies of dental erosion and its impact on oral health. He explores a case of a patient experiencing tooth sensitivity due to significant wear and erosion. He explains how erosive areas, identified by dark discolouration, indicate accelerated tooth breakdown, occurring three times faster than normal enamel wear. He discuss the importance of assessing the extent of wear and planning effective treatments, such as bonding restorations and using ceramics for their strength and acid resistance. He also highlights the potential need for night guards and veneers to protect and restore the teeth. Tune in to understand the critical steps in addressing dental erosion and ensuring long-term oral health.
