    Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:
    Some vegetarians are more at risk of tooth erosion because their diet can lack calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12 or complete proteins. Deficiencies of vitamin D and calcium, for instance, soften your teeth and increase your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
