Worn Teeth Treatment in Lahore
Worn teeth refer to the gradual erosion, abrasion, and loss of the tooth’s outer surface. This outer layer, called enamel, protects against sensitivity to hot, cold, and sugary foods and drinks while providing the white color of teeth.
Enamel cannot regenerate naturally, but its damage can be managed and occasionally repaired. Factors such as fillings, decay, acidic substances, and teeth grinding (bruxism) can harm enamel, leading to yellowish, flattened teeth.
Symptoms of worn teeth
Treatment for worn teeth can address dental erosion or abrasion caused by external factors like aggressive brushing, as well as attrition resulting from internal causes such as teeth grinding or bruxism.
Signs of worn teeth treatment include hollows and gradual wearing of the tooth surfaces and edges. yellow teeth may occur due to enamel erosion. Sensitivity may also be present, particularly when consuming hot, cold, sugary, or acidic substances.
Causes of worn teeth
Tooth erosion occurs when teeth are exposed to acidity, causing the enamel to soften and erode. Saliva, which is alkaline, helps neutralize acidity and promote oral repair. However, excessive or repeated acid exposure can hinder the mouth’s ability to repair itself, gradually wearing away the enamel.
Acid in the mouth comes from a number of sources. It’s most often from sugary food and drinks like sodas, fruit juice, alcohol and vinegar. Drinks high in caffeine can also cause problems. Other things that can contribute include:
- Vomiting often
- Some medications, including aspirin and vitamin C
- Not drinking enough water
- Brushing your teeth too h
