And that's the tooth! I have an aching tooth.
the tooth enamel has eroded, leaving your tooth sensitive and vulnerable for bacteria to creep into your teeth, especially if it is your back molars. The bacteria will get into your tooth and cause decay, thus, a cavity.
When enamel is eroded away, the protective outer layer of the teeth becomes thinner, leading to increased sensitivity and vulnerability to decay. This erosion can result from factors such as acidic diets, poor oral hygiene, or certain medical conditions. As enamel diminishes, the underlying dentin becomes exposed, which can cause pain and discomfort. If left untreated, enamel erosion can lead to tooth decay, cavities, and more severe dental issues.
The main cause of tooth enamel erosion is acidic food and drinks that can wear down the enamel over time. Other factors such as acidic saliva, frequent vomiting, and certain medical conditions can also contribute to enamel erosion.
A condition called dental fluorosis can cause mottling of tooth enamel. This can be developed due to a high exposure to fluoride while the teeth are still developing. Mutilation can go from tiny specks of white in the tooth enamel to widespread discoloration and browning.
can cause tooth enamel to destroy
It is called the enamel. It's the most external layer of a tooth and the hardest substance in the body.
Yes. Tooth enamel is crystalline in structure, and the frequent drastic changes in temperature resulting from eating crushed ice causes the enamel to expand and contract. Over time, the expansion and contraction of the enamel results in the weakening of the structure. This can lead to fractures in the enamel, especially if the tooth has a filling, because the filling material expands and contracts at a different rate than the enamel. This puts additional stress on the enamel and increases the likelihood of fracture.
Enamel is called the dentine part of the tooth

Calcium is a metal element present in tooth enamel.
