Traditionally, tooth decay and gum disease have been the main threats to teeth, but perfect teeth are increasingly wearing down or dissolving away.
The irreversible loss of tooth surface is referred to as tooth wear. The resulting structural loss can have an adverse effect on appearance, function, and sensitivity. The damage can also become expensive and difficult to repair.
Abrasion, attrition, and erosion are the three main types of tooth wear.
Because different types of tooth wear frequently coexist, determining the type of tooth wear present can be difficult at times.

Abrasion is the mechanical loss of tooth structure caused by a foreign element rubbing or scraping against the tooth rather than tooth to tooth contact.
When abrasion is caused by a habit, such as pencil biting, the pattern of notching or chipping corresponds to the habit.
If possible, please stop the habit; if this is not possible, please discuss
Grooves, notches, cracking, and chipping of teeth are common, as is gum tissue recession and root notching.
The pattern of wear will correspond to the causative factor or habit.
Teeth may be painless or sensitive depending on the rate of wear. Abrasion is frequently associated with excessive tooth brushing and abrasive toothpastes.
Acid in the mouth can be caused by dietary, gastric, or occupational factors.
When acid comes into contact with the surface of your teeth, the enamel softens and loses some of its mineral content.
Your saliva will gradually neutralise the acid in your mouth, restoring it to its natural balance.
However, if the acid attack occurs frequently enough, the teeth lose their ability to repair themselves, and tiny particles of enamel can be washed or worn away.
Minerals dissolve from the tooth surface and, like a cliff face with a moving tide, eventually collapses and is lost forever.
Eat a well balanced diet and limit your intake of acidic and sugary fo ds and beverages.
Limit snacking so that acidic foods and drinks are only consumed at mealtimes.
Consume foods that act as a buffer by quickly neutralising saliva pH. (eg. dairy products contain a protein called casein which protects teeth from acid)
Avoid swishing acidic drinks around your mouth, as this increases your chances of tooth decay and tooth wear.
When possible, use a straw to reduce the amount of liquid that comes into contact with your teeth.
Brushing your teeth immediately after eating or drinking acidic drinks will cause tooth enamel to soften.
Allow at least an hour before brushing, for example, after wine in the evening and brushing before fruit juices for breakfast.
Use a remineralizing paste, such as GI Tooth Mouse or GI MI. Apply after meals and before going to bed. Apply with your finger and leave on your teeth without rinsing.
To make your enamel more resistant to erosion, use a toothpaste with a high fluoride content, such as Duraphat.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you’re exercising, and avoid caffeinated beverages, which cause dehydration.
Have any underlying medical condition treated. Use a neutralising agent, such as antacid tablets, if necessary.
There are various ways to prevent, stop and resolve tooth wear/tooth surface loss. The following are ways of dealing with the causes of tooth wear described above.
The benefit is that there is no treatment and associated costs, but the disadvantage is that the tooth wear may worsen, lowering the prognosis of the eventual tooth restoration (as tooth structure is now poorer).
A splint is something that covers your teeth’s biting surface. It is made of hard acrylic and is custom-fit to your teeth. The splint works by protecting your teeth while you grind, causing you to wear down the acrylic rather than your own teeth. It is a quick and effective solution, but people who grind their teeth frequently may require replacements. Splints can also help with temporomandibular joint pain and discomfort.
Tooth wear causes teeth to appear flat, short, and discoloured, which is unappealing.
Worn-down teeth can be repaired with composite white filling material or crowns or veneers. Specific shades of these restorations are chosen to match the rest of your teeth and are shaped in accordance with the golden proportion. The best materials are used to achieve a natural result and a beautiful smile. Crowns can also be used to keep a heavily restored tooth from breaking apart. There are various materials with varying strengths and properties. Your dentist will advise you on the best option.
Stress and depression can both contribute to grinding and eating disorders. Stopping tooth surface loss becomes extremely difficult without identifying and resolving the sources of stress. Talking to a friend, family member, or medical practitioner is one possible solution, as is meditation, pursuing a hobby that makes you happy, taking time off work to travel, or visiting a beauty salon/fashion store to boost self-esteem. Because each person is unique, some solutions are better suited to one person than another. Stress is a growing issue among people today, but there are many things available to make life more enjoyable.
Many people damage their teeth simply by using the wrong type of brush and brushing technique. A hard brush will damage the tooth enamel and gums, causing tooth wear and recession. Symptoms include cold hypersensitivity and tooth discoloration, as well as cavitation at the tooth-gum interface. It is advised that you use a soft or medium toothbrush with gentle pressure (imagine a force just enough to indent a ripe tomato). Certain electric toothbrushes are also advantageous because they torque out when you brush too hard.
