Sensodyne ad....

Martron

Hopefully someone here can put my mind at ease.

basically there is several ads on the tv about sensodyne. And the effects of "acid errosion"

now surely they mean acid CORROSION.

There is a couple of ads with different people all saying acid errosion.

Maybe it is a dental thing but errosion is a physical deterioration ie grinding your teeth .

corrosion is chemical deterioration ie ACID!!

Anyway maybe someone can understand this jibberish and help me out

Thanks

Acid errosion a correct term, however some american pedants are trying to get corrosion (a more correct term from a chemistry POV) into use. However untill this nomenclature comes into common usage errosion is fine. I was never one for all the definition rubbish, as long as the word gets the point accross to a large number of people thats all that matters, rigid and overzelous use of particular terms not in common usage is the hiding place of the feeble minded

Attrition is tooth on tooth wear
Abrasion is tooth on something else like a crown.
There is also abfraction which is wear due to bending stress in the root.

i would not know much about dentistry or their terminology.

i was looking at it from an engineering pov. I was irritating me a bit thinking it was some ad exec using fancy terms to promote a toothpaste.

If they used "corrosion" instead of "erosion", I still wouldn't be impressed.
