What Is Dental Erosion?
You teeth have two layers to them. An outer layer called Enamel and an inner layer called dentin. The dentin layer of your tooth contains the nerves. Erosion is when the enamel on your teeth is worn away by acid and the dentine is exposed, which usually causes pain and sensitivity.
What Is Dry Mouth?
Your mouth makes saliva so that it can help with the breakdown of food. Saliva also helps with cleaning your teeth and gums by fighting decay, keeping your mouth moist and helping you to swallow. Without saliva your mouth would not be able to function properly. If you cannot produce saliva and your mouth often feels dry, then you are probably suffering from a condition called dry mouth.

What Are Inlays and Onlays?
If you are suffering or have suffered from serious tooth decay or have cracked teeth and may need a crown, then an Inlay or onlay may be suitable for you depending on how severely affected your teeth are. The reason your dentist would rather you have an inlay or onlay is because its stops you from needing a crown, and the more we can do to preserve your natural teeth, the better it is for you. Patients who normally qualify for an inlay or onlay are people who have too much damage to their tooth/teeth to have a filling but have enough good strong tooth structure/material to use, and therefore wouldn’t necessary need a crown.
