Dental erosion is common, and patient ignorance is a major issue. Extrinsic and intrinsic factors affect erosion. Some recommend evaluating and treating erosion patients following a brief review of the causes. These involve a comprehensive evaluation of the condition and medical history to identify risk factors for further tooth deterioration. To prevent further degeneration, immediate restorative therapy is needed.
A cross-sectional questionnaire was given to Kerala Dental Clinic patients with dentinal hypersensitivity (DH). A total of 5 random clinics from 14 Kerala districts were chosen. At least a total of 1848 of 3500 patients responded. During the COVID-19 epidemic, an online semistructured survey was created using Google Forms to collect data. The current isolation approach discourages large gatherings and face-to-face contact. Google Forms were used to seek informed consent before filling out the questionnaire. Self-administered 20 questions were used to gather information regarding oral hygiene, bad habits, food, and eating disorders, and we inquired whether subjects ate acidic meals and drinks.
Most persons with dentine hypersensitivity eat packaged food (70%), pickles (62%), soft drinks (58%), and sweets (56%). Dental erosion is also linked to alcohol consumption (40.4%), teeth clenching (37.4%), mouth breathing (16.4%), and gum chewing (27.5%). Mouthwash-using DH patients (55%) had tooth disintegration.
牙齿侵蚀很常见，患者的认知不足是一个主要问题。外在和内在因素都会影响牙齿侵蚀。一些人建议在简要回顾病因后对牙齿侵蚀患者进行评估和治疗。这包括对病情和病史进行全面评估，以确定牙齿进一步恶化的风险因素。为防止进一步退化，需要立即进行修复治疗。
对喀拉拉邦牙科诊所患有牙本质过敏症（DH）的患者进行了横断面问卷调查。从喀拉拉邦的14个区中随机选取了5家诊所。在3500名患者中，至少有1848人做出了回应。在新冠疫情期间，使用谷歌表单创建了一项在线半结构化调查来收集数据。当前的隔离措施不鼓励大型聚会和面对面接触。在填写问卷前，使用谷歌表单征求知情同意。通过自行填写的20个问题收集有关口腔卫生、不良习惯、食物和饮食失调的信息，并询问受试者是否食用酸性食物和饮料。
大多数牙本质过敏症患者食用包装食品（70%）、泡菜（62%）、软饮料（58%）和糖果（56%）。牙齿侵蚀还与饮酒（40.4%）、紧咬牙（37.4%）、口呼吸（16.4%）和嚼口香糖（27.5%）有关。使用漱口水的牙本质过敏症患者（55%）出现了牙齿崩解。
