Etiological factors in the development of dental erosion are usually listed as dietary acids, for instance in soft drinks and fruit juices, and intrinsic acid exposure due to gastro-intestinal disease or frequent vomiting. Quite often the list of causes in reviews and textbooks also includes frequent swimming. This paper evaluates the evidence behind this erosion etiology. The main disinfection techniques using gas chlorination and sodium hypochlorite are described, and their relative risk for development of low pH water is discussed. In the Netherlands only the relatively safe sodium hypochlorite method is used, and the quality of the water in public swimming pools is monitored monthly by independent test laboratories. Data for 2001 from such a test laboratory show that the percentage of low-pH results is very low (0.14%). It is concluded that the risk of dental erosion from frequent swimming in acidic pool water is probably negligible in the Netherlands.
牙齿酸蚀症发展过程中的病因通常被列为饮食中的酸，例如软饮料和果汁中的酸，以及因胃肠疾病或频繁呕吐导致的内源性酸暴露。在综述和教科书中，病因列表常常还包括频繁游泳。本文评估了这种酸蚀病因背后的证据。描述了使用气体氯化和次氯酸钠的主要消毒技术，并讨论了它们产生低pH值水的相对风险。在荷兰，仅使用相对安全的次氯酸钠方法，公共游泳池的水质由独立检测实验室每月进行监测。来自这样一个检测实验室的2001年数据表明，低pH值结果的百分比非常低（0.14%）。得出的结论是，在荷兰，频繁在酸性泳池水中游泳导致牙齿酸蚀的风险可能微不足道。
