Is this possible, if you’ve been suffering form it for a prolonged period of time for acid reflux to cause tooth decay?
Yes, it can cause massive dental problems !
Biggest prob is erosion .This means the enamel can be thinned causing difficulties that are very difficult (and expensive) 2 correct. Also the teeth ARE more prone 2 cavities. But the major problem is erosion.
If the medical people can not correct the reflux its a difficult scenario.Rinsing with plain water after reflux will help but solving reflux is obviously the best solution Bulimics will often present with massive erosion due 2 constant vomiting,as will alcoholics or people who drink a lot of minerals.
