    Use fluoride treatments to slow it down.
    Or a product called "tooth moose". Active ingredient super saturates tooth surface with minerals needed to form hydroxyapetite (units making up enamel), this remineralises your teeth while you sleep. And it tastes pretty good...

    But yea acid erosion is common, every time the pH in your mouth drops below 5.5, your teeth begin to demineralise. This happens pretty much every time you eat or have a sugary drink.
    Do you drink fruit juices? These are the worst thing for your teeth -worse than fizzies and beer. They contain a weak acid which is harder to neutralise with saliva.

    Or as mentioned, saliva pathologies can cause. You may have a decreased flow rate (xerostomia / dry mouth), or a decreased buffering capacity, both of which make it harder to raise the pH back to normal in your mouth.

    Do you have lots of fillings in your mouth?

    Y'think?
    With all those artificial sweeteners in it?
    With such a high level of orthophosphoric acid, to make it tangy and give it a longer shelf life?
    ... and that's what I think.

    I hardly ever eat corn, never eat cubed carrots - so how come every time I have a chunda - out comes corn and cubed carrots? What's that all about then?


    Oh and on the tooth thing; fruit juice or oranges and lemons erode tooth enamel

    There's some clown that wanders around, with his trench coat pockets full of Watties mixed veges, ready to sprinkle around as required.
    Strange job, but I guess someone's gotta do it.

    Aspartame is used to sweeten diet coke - and coke zero - aspartame consumption can lead to worrisome build-ups of blood methanol or formaldehyde, and give you brain cancer dude

    If you are using aspartame ... and you suffer from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in your legs, cramps, vertigo, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, joint pain, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss - you probably have aspartame disease.

    I'd rather not think about pooh.
    If you really want to know, corn is largely cellulose, which yuman beans don't process very well, so unless you chew it very thoroughly, it's going to pass through your system largely undigested.
    ... and that's what I think.

    When I settled down He said that the enamel on my teeth was worn like a person who smoked a bit of weed.
    Then he went through the list of other causes but none really fits.
    The only possibility I can think of is that I drink a lot of tap water. Could that be a cause?
    I used to suffer badly from bleeding noses and had my nose cauterised (imagine a red hot poker shoved up your nose... but worse!) and it worked for a while. A few years ago the bleeding noses started again so I went to the doctor and was seen by a young locum who was really obnoxious and said my septum was missing - the bit that runs inside your nose between your two nostrils. He said "the only people I've seen that on are people who use cocaine". I was really pissed off as I've NEVER done drugs of any sort and this prick was implying I regularly snorted cocaine! I said I'd had my nose cauterised years earlier and he said he doubted that would have caused it. Well, something did, arsehole, and it wasn't snorting cocaine!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Maybe - depends how fast it's delivered and how bad the "splash effect" is.

    I thought that's the appendix' job - to store a little "surprise" bundle which puts the corn on your poo, and carrot in your vomit. It's just the way it works.
