What are the dietary factors that may contribute to dental erosion?
What will be an ideal response?
Dental erosion results from the demineralization of the tooth surface by acid and can be the result of both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Dietary sources of acid are an extrinsic factor. Examples of foods that are acidic and can contribute to dental erosion are soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, fruit juices, pickled foods, sour candies, citrus fruit, and wine. In addition to the specific food choices, the frequency and duration of exposure to these foods can impact the risk of dental erosion.
