Most people donβt realize they have tooth wear!
Tooth wear often happens slowly, making it hard to notice until significant damage has already occurred. Common causes include:
π¦· Clenching and grinding (even while you sleep)
π¦· Acid reflux (GERD)
π¦· Frequent consumption of acidic drinks like soda, sports drinks, energy drinks, and citrus beverages
Over time, tooth wear can lead to sensitivity, shorter teeth, chipping, and changes in your bite. Thatβs why we carefully monitor for signs of wear at your dental visits and help identify the cause before more damage occurs.
If youβve noticed sensitivity or changes in your smile, mention it at your next appointment! π
