Severe tooth wear or erosion can alter your smile’s appearance and cause sensitivity. Ultimately, pinpointing the cause of your tooth wear is the first step in determining the best treatment.
Common reasons behind flattened or broken teeth include:
- Excessive clenching and grinding
- Crooked teeth (malocclusion)
- Habits, such as nail biting
- Age
If you grind and clench, a night splint may be all that you need to break the habit. For moderate structural damage, a series of restorative crowns could provide the best results.
Fixing Worndown Teeth
As part of the ageing process, teeth can wear down to a point where they don’t provide the support they once did. Teeth will appear shorter and cut off from what they once did. Common symptoms are sensitivity to hot and cold foods, this can effect your general enjoyment of food and life. But there is a solution.
