Can acid reflux cause tooth decay?
I take very good care of my teeth brush and floss daily and go to my dentist for my regular dental appointments. However with in the last three months I have been having on and off again acid reflux. Nothing so far has help me get rid of it completely.
My doctor told me that I may wish to see the dentist because pro long acid reflux can mess up your teeth. Is that true? I was last at the dentist five months ago and I had no cavities. Should I worry and see the dentist a month early or just wait for my six month appointment to come up.

Pro long acid reflux can do damage to your teeth. The acid that you coughing up can wear down your tooth enamel making your teeth open to decay and sensitive.
