At first glance, this may look like simple tooth discoloration, but it’s actually exposed dentin caused by enamel wear.
Enamel can thin over time for many reasons, including acidic drinks, aggressive brushing, grinding, or decay. Once enamel wears down and dentin is exposed, teeth become much more vulnerable to chipping, cracking, and breaking, just like you see on the front tooth here.
The key is catching this before the enamel becomes too thin and brittle. Early intervention can help protect your teeth and prevent more extensive damage.
