What Are Dental Abrasions?
A dental abrasion is the abnormally fast wearing down of a tooth’s surface. A dental abrasion usually appears as a v-shaped indent on the bottom of the tooth. There are several harmful dental habits that can cause a dental abrasion, including:
- Brushing your teeth with a hard bristle toothbrush
- Wearing dentures with improperly fitting dental clasps
- Having mouth piercings that consistently rub against your teeth
- Utilizing too much force while brushing your teeth
Symptoms of Dental Abrasions
A dental abrasion can be very harmful to not only your confidence but also to your overall oral health. A dental abrasion can cause serious issues such as exposure and damage to the nerves or tissue, and can also make your smile appear tired and dull. Some symptoms to look out for include:
- Consistent and intrusive tooth pain
- A higher than normal sensitivity to hot and cold drinks and food
- The appearance of a tiny, v-shaped nick on the bottom of a tooth, close to your gum’s surface
- Experience pain or general discomfort in your gums
