“Why is my enamel breaking down?”

Yes, it is easy to fix enamel.

Sorry, but your question isn't clear. I will assume that you have places on your teeth, most likely at the gum line that is crumbling. If that is the case, I can only assume that you have severely demineralized teeth, typically caused by poor home care and bad food habits. If plaque is left on your teeth and you frequently drink sugary drinks or keep sugary treats in your mouth, the enamel of your teeth is being severely damaged. Initially you will see white demineralized places that eventually turn dark and break open. That is literally the damaged enamel falling apart, exposing decay below. This problem can be made worse by drug use. There is a type of decay commonly seen in those who use meth, which is a severe decay similar to what I described above. The damage must be repaired ASAP, or the decay will destroy the tooth beyond repair. It isn't uncommon to see these teeth decay off to the gum line. There is a similar type of decay, referred to as Mtn. Dew mouth, seen in people who drink large quantities of the soft drink Mtn. Dew. This is due to the
large quantities of sugar and acid in those soft drinks.

If this is not the type of enamel breakdown you are referring to, please be more specific and I will be happy to respond.

Hi,

Are your teeth chipped? If so, reasoned can include bruxism, or clenching. Biting on objects such as pencils, pens, etc. Missing back teeth, so chewing with your front, etc. Solutions depend on the amount of missing tooth structure, but include fillings, inlays, inlays, crowns, and veneers.
Hope this helped.
