The speaker will answer your questions
We have patients when they drink a glass of wine, they show their teeth redder than others. Is it possible they may have more susceptibility to keep liquids or beverages in their teeth for a long time? What is the cause of this problem? Is it a risk factor for dental erosion? Since it may happen with other beverages, how we could diagnosis this problem in our patiens?

I would like to thank you for your time and knowledge regarding dental erosion! Do to technical difficulties I lost all audio to this webinar! I would appreciate your input on your personal thoughts on how treat rampant dental erosin in the average dental office setting! If the cementum is involved/exposed from erosion and the dentin slowly occludes over time do you reccomend restorations to all teeth affected. How would reccomend to the patient the need for centric occlusion etc.
Thank you, Tara Powers
