What Causes Erosion Of Bottom Teeth?

I gave birth 5 1/2 months ago and have just notice what looks like tooth erosion on my two bottom teeth at the front. I don't eat alot of sugary foods or have sugary drinks and have always had excellent dental hygiene. Is this a common problem and can it be treated?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The loss of tooth structure could be because of your abnormal brushing habits, like brushing your teeth by horizontal strokes. The erosion of the teeth will not occur on the front side, this could be cervical abrasion. you have to brush you teeth in vertical or round strokes.
If you have sensitivity you can use desensitizers like sensofom tooth paste. If too much of abrasion is there then the tooth can be filled.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
