The dreaded enamel erosion is often held up as the be all and end all of a good set of teeth. But is there really nothing to do about it?

“Enamel erosion is irreversible however, some toothpastes such as Regenerate - along with their mouthwash and serum - can help to remineralise early enamel erosion due to its technology.

It acts on early invisible stages of enamel erosion by restoring its mineral content and micro hardness with regular use,” says Fairhall.

“Composite bonding which is the build-up of the teeth using a white filling material may also be possible but the enamel it’s self will never grow back. If you are concerned about enamel erosion visit your dentist.”
