UNDERSTANDING TOOTH WEAR:
Tooth wear happens when enamel the hard outer surface of your teeth erodes due to friction (bruxism/grinding), acidic foods, or aging. Over time, this can lead to flattened or chipped teeth, sensitivity, and bite changes. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent long-term damage and protect your smile with solutions like bite guards or bonding.
Key benefits of managing tooth wear:
- Prevents Tooth Sensitivity
Protects the inner layers of your teeth from exposure, reducing pain from hot, cold, or sweet foods. - Preserves Natural Tooth Structure
Early treatment stops further enamel loss and helps you avoid more invasive procedures later. -
Enhances Smile Aesthetics
Restorative treatments improve the appearance of worn or chipped teeth, giving you a more confident smile. -
Maintains Proper Bite Function
Prevents bite misalignment and jaw discomfort caused by uneven wear. -
Reduces the Need for Complex Dental Work
Timely care helps avoid future costs and complications from advanced tooth damage.
