Diagnosis and management of toothwear in two children in the same family: a case report.
The incidence of toothwear would appear to be on the increase in children. The main aetiological factor seems to be the increasing consumption of acidic drinks. This paper reports on a sister and brother with erosion whose parents were reluctant to accept that drinking fruit juice through a straw could have resulted in the damage their children's teeth sustained.
