Brushing too hard

Gingival recession and substantial tooth wear can both be brought on by brushing your teeth too vigorously or with a hard toothbrush. Many people accidentally wash their teeth too hard in an attempt to get them sparkling clean when, in reality, the right technique is only a little pressure.

Treatment Options

Tooth wear and tooth surface loss can be avoided, stopped, and resolved in a number of ways. The solutions to the above-mentioned causes of tooth wear are as follows.

Splint

Something that protects the biting surface of your teeth is called a splint. It is fashioned to fit your teeth out of strong acrylic. When you grind your teeth, the splint prevents damage to your natural teeth and instead wears down the acrylic. Although it is a quick and efficient remedy, individuals who grind their teeth frequently may need replacements. Any pain or discomfort in the temporomandibular joint may also be relieved with splints.

Crowns

Teeth that are worn down have an unsightly, flat, and discoloured appearance. White composite filling material, crowns, or veneers can be used to restore worn-down teeth. These restorations are specifically customised with specific colours to fit the rest of your teeth and are fashioned in accordance with the golden ratio. You will have a lovely grin because the best material was utilised to provide a natural result. Crowns can also be utilised to cover and shield a tooth that has had extensive restoration from cracking. There are many distinct materials, each with unique qualities and strengths. Which one is best for you will be discussed with your dentist.

Correct Brushing Techniques

By just using the incorrect brush and method during brushing, many people harm their teeth. A harsh brush will damage the gums and tooth enamel, causing wear and recession of the teeth. Cold sensitivity and poor tooth look with cavitation at the tooth-gum interface are symptoms. It is advised that you use a soft or medium-sized toothbrush and exert light pressure. Some electric toothbrushes are also advantageous since they torque out when you brush too vigorously. Although learning the proper way to clean your teeth can first be challenging, repetition makes perfect. Please go here to learn how to wash your teeth properly.
