酸蝕 是一種牙齒磨損 現象,指的是酸(非細菌 帶來)溶解牙齒後牙齒出現磨損狀況,牙齒磨損情況不可逆轉。[ 1] 牙齒糜爛是5-17歲兒童最常見的慢性疾病[ 2] 。飲用果汁 是造成牙齒酸蝕的原因之一[ 3] 。酸蝕的過程先從牙釉質 開始,牙釉質變薄後,腐蝕過程蔓延至牙本質 ,此時牙齒呈現暗黃色,並引發牙本質過敏 [ 4] 。
引起牙齒腐蝕最常見原因是飲用酸性食物和飲料(例如果汁[ 5] )。一般來說,PH值 低於5.0-5.7的食物和飲料都會引發牙齒腐蝕。[ 6] 許多臨床和實驗室報告都將牙齒糜爛與飲用過多的飲料聯繫起來。一些酒精和水果飲料、橙汁 等含有檸檬酸的果汁和可樂等軟性飲料 (其中檸檬酸 和磷酸 是導致腐蝕的原因,碳酸則不是)被認為是引發牙齒酸蝕的因素之一。[ 7] 此外,葡萄酒 已被證明可以腐蝕牙齒,因為葡萄酒的pH值會低至3.0-3.8。[ 6] 氯 化過的游泳池 的水[ 8] 和胃酸 反流等也會侵蝕牙齒。[ 9] 在患有慢性疾病的兒童中,他們服用含有酸性成分的藥物也是引發牙齒腐蝕的原因之一。[ 10] 人們在化石中也發現有動物出現牙齒腐蝕的現象,很可能是由它們食用的酸性水果或植物所造成。[ 1]
