Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
If the problem is chronic then surely it can cause dental problem, there could be presence of ulcerations in the mouth,sometimes change in taste, if the condition lasts for months it could even lead to thinning of your tooth enamel.
I would suggest you to consult an Gasteroenterologist and get a checkup done take tab rabeprozole 20 mg dialy for 15-30 days,
Take a cup of cold(chilled) milk before going to bed.
Drink plenty of water fluids which are rich in vitamin C like lemons, oranges.
Avoid spicy foods, acidic beverages, junk foods.
Take multivitamins suplements daily for 30 days.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Take care!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The acid reflux disease causes the erosion of the teeth on the inner aspect of the teeth. Nothing to be panic. Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined for eroded teeth(particularly upper front teeth), if there are eroded teeth, then get it restored. Consult a general physician and take treatment for acid reflux.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
