What could be the cause of my lost tooth enamel?

Question

I have a really bad case of lost tooth enamel on the inside of my teeth. It's so bad that every dentist i've seen thinks I must have or had bulimia...which i've never had. I also have no problem with reflux which was another suggestion a dentist made. It doesn't fit grinding either as it has effected the inside of all my teeth.They can't really understand it as if it was caused by drinks it would be on the outside of my teeth but this is all on the inside. Are there any reasons any of you can think of that would cause this and anyway of getting a test to find out what it is?

Answer 1

It could be many things:

-from fruit juices

-from too much soda

-from not brushing teeth long enough

i hope this helps, at least a little :)

Answer 2

sometimes people have whats called "amelogenesis imperfecta" which means defective enamel formation during being a baby, its a congenital defect (found by birth), and not acquired, its not ur fault, but can be treated by covering the teeth, follow the link to see how it looks like
