When you have GERD, your esophagus, mouth, and teeth are frequently exposed to stomach acid, and this can lead to some serious health complications, including the following:

• Gum inflammation
• Tooth erosion
• Esophageal erosion
• Esophagitis
• Esophageal stricture (tightening and narrowing of part of the esophagus)
• Barrett's esophagus (a condition that causes precancerous changes in the lining of the esophagus)
• Breathing problems
• Hoarseness
