What happens when enamel is eroded away?

When enamel is eroded away, the protective outer layer of the teeth becomes thinner, leading to increased sensitivity and vulnerability to decay. This erosion can result from factors such as acidic diets, poor oral hygiene, or certain medical conditions. As enamel diminishes, the underlying dentin becomes exposed, which can cause pain and discomfort. If left untreated, enamel erosion can lead to tooth decay, cavities, and more severe dental issues.
