What are the symptoms of enamel erosion? When
tooth enamel wears down, here's what can
happen. Teeth become discolored because the
enamel has broken down and the dentin is exposed.
Dentin is the underlying layer that has a more
yellowish color. The edges of the incisors
appear transparent. Tooth sensitivity can appear
on the inside and outside of the teeth. Teeth
become more fragile and more sensitive towards
hot and cold.
