Worn Teeth
What is Worn Teeth?
Worn teeth refer to the gradual loss of tooth structure, often due to factors like tooth grinding (bruxism), aggressive brushing, or acidic food and beverages. This wear can lead to tooth sensitivity, discomfort, and changes in the appearance of your smile. Over time, worn teeth may become more vulnerable to cavities, cracks, and other dental issues.
Worn teeth can also affect your bite and make chewing uncomfortable. If left untreated, the wear can progress, potentially requiring more extensive dental procedures to restore the teeth. Worn teeth can also lead to misalignment, further complicating oral health and increasing the risk of tooth damage.
Causes of Worn Teeth
Worn teeth can result from factors like teeth grinding, aggressive brushing, or frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks. Over time, these habits can erode tooth enamel, leading to discomfort and potential dental problems.
Aggressive Brushing
Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can erode enamel
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Excessive grinding, often during sleep, can wear down tooth enamel
Age-Related Wear
Natural wear over time can lead to slight flattening and thinning of the teeth
Tooth Misalignment
Misaligned teeth can cause uneven wear, leading to damage over time
