Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as your father has falling of outer layer of tooth dont worry outer layer of tooth is said as enamel . Falling of outer layer of enamel is due to common reason faulty brushing technique or use of hard bristle brush . Some reason also includes like stress related , erosion that is when stomach acid comes in mouth .
For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for restoration of tooth it can be done by restorative material like composite or glass inomer cement .
Hope this will help you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The chipping off of the outer most layer that is enamel can occur in amelogenesis or dentinogenesis imperfecta, these are the two developmental disturbances in teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a good esthetic dental surgeon and get the teeth restored with either composites or veneers. These are tooth colored restorative materials nothing to worry about appearance or esthetics.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
