Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by stomach acid re-entering into the throat and mouth after a meal. Your dentist will recognise the effects of GERD when examining your teeth.
What are some symptoms that you should discuss with your dentist?
– Burning or acidic sensation in your mouth or throat.
– Sensations occur after you eat a meal or when laying down in the evening.
– Teeth become overly sensitive to hot or cold substances.
If you have GERD, your dentist may discover worn enamel on your teeth during the exam. It is important to see your dentist if you have GERD symptoms to start the treatment process.
”A person may not notice this, since it may occur slowly.”
