Dental advice needed
1 Answers
I have enamel erosion and am considering getting some treatment from the dentist.
Previously (some time ago) I had it done on one tooth - they painted a liquid onto the tooth surface and let it harden this then formed a protective coating on the enamel to prevent it eroding.
What does this type of treatment cost per tooth?
Does any one know?
I have a few teeth I would need it on and probably need to save a few quid up first!

Also, try to look at the causative factors rather than just treating the symptoms, to prevent further tooth tissue loss.
