Understanding Tooth Wear
Tooth wear happens when the enamel on your teeth gradually wears down over time. This can make teeth look shorter, feel sensitive, or even affect how your bite feels.

Why It Happens
Tooth wear can be caused by grinding or clenching (bruxism), acidic foods and drinks, or natural aging. Some wear is normal, but excessive wear can lead to problems if left untreated.

How We Can Help
I work with patients to protect and restore worn teeth through:

• Custom mouthguards for grinding or clenching

• Advice on reducing acidic foods and drinks

• Treatments to restore tooth structure, such as fillings, bonding, or crowns

The Key Message
Tooth wear is common, but with early care, we can protect your teeth, reduce sensitivity, and maintain your smile. I’ll guide you through every step to make sure your care is comfortable and effective.
