Brown spot due to loss of enamel?

I used to drink lots of soda although I stopped years ago. I noticed that my front teeth always were a little thin enamel-wise but not too bad.





Recently, I noticed a brown spot on my front tooth and I believe this is enamel-related. I had been drinking lots of beer the past few weeks.





Can I do anything to fix it? I take calcium supplements every day. Can this be restored with cosmetic dentistry? Thanks in advance.

Brown spot due to loss of enamel?
Hi it could either be a stain, brush your teeth with bicarbonate od soda and see if it comes off if it doesnt it might be arrested decay as they call it. Arrested decay is where the tooth starts to decay but then you stop doing what you were doing to make it rot and the dacy just stops and hardens and goes dark in colour.





So its either Decay or staining! hope i helped :)
Reply:It sounds like it could be a small cavity to me...especially with your history of soda drinking. Most soda cavities are along the gumline %26amp; inbetween teeth.
