Acid Wear - Dental Erosion
Dissolving teeth
Acid wear is fast becoming a very big concern in dentistry.
Like anything else in nature, teeth are susceptible to their environment. Ever heard that Cola can dissolve a tooth? Well the truth is there is a lot more than Cola or any other carbonated drinks that can damage teeth.
What is acid wear?
Acid wear is a type of erosion. The acid causes the tooth structure to demineralise. This essentially means that the tooth is dissolving. Acid wear is a chronic issue, meaning it occurs over an extended period of time and repeated exposure causes loss of tooth structure.
X-Rays and Radiation
what are they and why do we do them?
What are X-rays?
X-rays (radiographs) are commonly used during dental procedures. It is an image created by electromagnetic waves of energy passing through an object (like a tooth) and reaching the receiving material (film). This results in an image of a structure and allows us to view the internal composition of the object to a certain degree.

Cracked Teeth!
the possible consequences of amalgam
Amalgam used to be the material of choice for fillings. Though they can last a long time and are hard wearing, they put a great deal of stress on the surrounding tooth structure.
- Amalgam is metallic, with every bite, the force from above causes the metal to warp slightly
- This force is transferred to the walls of the tooth around the filling
- Over time cracks can form in the tooth - this is from 'Chronic Fatigue'
- Treatment options vary depending on where and how a tooth cracks
