title: Diagnosis and management of toothwear in two children in the same family: a case report.
abstract: 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.
