Tooth decay/enamel erosion

My son is nearly four. His four front teeth are badly eroded. Not with cavities but the enamel on his teeth he brushes them everyday twice, no matter what I do it just gets worse. In hindsight he drank a lot of pure orange juice and took a sippy cup of juice to bed until 6 months ago. It looks really bad and I feel so guilty that I haven't prevented it, but no word of a lie it just appeared so quickly. He had a lot of antibiotics from being 6 months to 3 and half. Amoxicillin. Is there anything a dentist can do? What can make it better? He's very conscious about his teeth appearance he wants to have teeth like mummy.
Thanks for any help/ advice

Try Pronamel toothpaste. Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste is specially formulated to help protect against acid wear. It won't reverse the damage but will stop it getting worse. My dd uses it and says it actually made an improvement on her front teeth.
