Swedish term or phrase: ilande tandhalsar
These are transcriptions of a video. If 'tandhalsar' are 'necks of teeth', I'm not quite sure what's meant here...
Sentence; Jag ser många som har problem med ilande tandhalsar, ilande sliten...Det är ett problem som gör att tandemaljen blir lite tunnare....
Has something been missed out, meaning rapidly declining necks of the teeth or something like that do you think? I don't see what else could be meant.
Advice would be appreciated.

Sorry - it's not when the dentin becomes too thin, it's when it becomes exposed because the enamel is too thin, if I have understood correctly!
