Tooth Wear in Warwick

What causes wear on teeth?

There are a range of reasons why the outer layer of hard enamel on your teeth might start to wear away.

• Eating or drinking lots of acidic food or drink
• Eating disorders or gastrointestinal problems which expose the teeth to excess acid
• Grinding or clenching as a result of stress or in your sleep
• Overbrushing or brushing too hard regularly
• The overuse or misuse of tooth-whitening kits

When you go to a dentist appointment, they will talk to you about the potential causes of your tooth wear. This will help them recommend the best treatment.

How can you fix tooth wear?

The exact treatment for tooth wear will depend on what causes it. For example, a dentist may recommend a change in diet if yours is particularly high in fizzy, sports or fruit-based drinks. All of these contain acid and can increase tooth wear.

The cost of the treatment will also vary depending on the exact plan. When you book an appointment with the Pan Dental team, we will take a good look at your teeth and work with you to build the best, most affordable treatment plan.
