Dental Health care, Teeth care with Acid Reflux
This past month I have been getting really bad acid reflux on an off. I take good care of my teeth but since I never had acid reflux so long before I am worried that it may start causing damage to my teeth. Is there any extra care I should be taking during this time?

Yes, you should try and brush right after having any acid reflux that come up in your mouth and touches your teeth. The acid over time can wear down your tooth enamel.
Normally this will not happen over night so if you have a short bout of acid reflux you should not have to worry about your teeth being effected by it.
My wife has acid reflux all the time so it is very important that when it happens if she can not brush she at least rinses out her mouth with water to help clean it. Milk is good too but not always handy.
