Oral Problems Caused By Acid Reflux

If left untreated, acid reflux or heartburn can cause several oral and dental problems that could eventually require extensive dental work. This is due to damage when stomach acids are pushed up into the esophagus and even the mouth.

Key takeaways:

• The most common problem is enamel erosion.
• Dry mouth and plaque buildup are also common among people with heartburn.
• You can address these problems by quitting smoking and changing your eating habits.

You can also speak to your dentist and ask how to manage acid reflux symptoms so that they don’t end up damaging your teeth.
