Introduction: Dental erosion is the loss of tooth surface caused by acid attack and is a dental health problem in the modern world, determining its etiology and risk factors will allow properly treating and preventing it before the damage done is more severe. Objective: To identify the prevalence of dental erosion in schoolchildren in Tampico, Madero, Altamira and its relation to salivary pH. Material and Methods: It was a cross-sectional observational study, 510 schoolchildren were examined in Tampico, Madero and Altamira. We used the Aine index for dental erosion. Results: Out of the 510 schoolchildren, 63 had a frequency of dental erosion of 12.35%, of which 35 (13.67%) were girls and 28 (11.02%) boys. There were no statistically significant differences between boys and girls (p =. 36). In relation to salivary pH, no statistically significant differences were found. (P =. 11). The most frequently affected dental organs were 46 (7.20%) and 63 (4.93%). The most prevalent grade was grade1 (8.03%). In regards to the area, the most affected was the vestibular. Conclusions: It is important for the pediatric dentist to detect signs of erosion in its early stages, identify the cause and monitor the nutrition of children with erosion to treat and prevent this condition.
