Tooth Wear

Tooth wear can significantly impact your oral health. Discover how our specialized treatments can restore and protect your teeth.

Causes of Tooth Wear:

Tooth wear can be caused by several factors including bruxism (teeth grinding), acid erosion from dietary acids or gastric reflux, abrasion from aggressive brushing, and attrition from tooth-to-tooth contact. Identifying the cause is essential for effective treatment.
