Acid reflux and teeth

GERD · erosion · timing

Toothpaste for acid reflux.

Stomach acid that reaches the mouth can dissolve enamel without bacteria involved. That is dental erosion, and a systematic review found it significantly more common in people with GERD. It often shows first on the inner surfaces of the upper teeth.

Toothpaste cannot stop reflux. What it can do is avoid adding abrasion to softened enamel. One+ has a published RDA of 62 and a formulation pH of 7.4—neither is a promise of erosion protection. Treating the reflux itself is a job for your physician.

01

Should I brush right after reflux?

Many dentists suggest rinsing with water, waiting a while, and then brushing gently, because acid-softened enamel is more vulnerable to abrasion. Ask your dentist what interval they recommend for you.

02

What should I look for in a toothpaste?

Lower abrasivity, a soft brush, and gentle technique. Fluoride is often recommended for erosion risk—One+ is fluoride-free, so discuss that tradeoff with your dentist.

03

Does pH 7.4 neutralize acid?

No. One+’s pH 7.4 describes the paste, not your mouth after reflux. Lab research shows paste pH works alongside fluoride and abrasivity, not alone.

01 How do I know if reflux is damaging my teeth?

Signs include teeth looking glassy, thinner, or yellower as dentin shows through; cupped surfaces; and new sensitivity. Dentists sometimes spot reflux-related erosion before patients notice heartburn.

02 Can silent reflux affect teeth?

Yes. Reflux can reach the mouth without obvious heartburn, especially at night. Tell your dentist and physician if you suspect it.

03 What should I rinse with after reflux?

Plain water is a simple option. Some dentists suggest a baking-soda-in-water rinse or a fluoride rinse. Follow your dentist’s advice.

04 Does hydroxyapatite protect against acid erosion?

Lab studies have explored HAp and erosion, but Klyyr does not claim One+ prevents erosion. Erosion management centers on treating reflux, timing, gentle brushing, and professional advice.

05 Does nighttime reflux matter more?

Saliva flow drops during sleep, so acid may stay in contact with teeth longer. Your physician may suggest head elevation, meal timing, or medication.
