Enamel is the tooth’s outer protective layer, shielding it from decay and daily wear and tear.
Use desensitizing toothpaste, avoid acidic foods, use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and consult a dentist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
Rinse mouth, floss to remove debris, take over-the-counter pain relievers, avoid temperature extremes, and see a dentist as soon as possible.
Prevention is the most important part of managing tooth abrasion.
Choose a low abrasion toothpaste as some toothpastes play a significant role in causing tooth abrasion. The RDA value [Relative Dentin Abrasivity] ranges from 0-250. RDA values of 150-250 are considered the harmful.
Use a soft toothbrush and a correct brushing technique using moderate force.
You should use a new section of floss for every tooth to avoid reinserting food and bacteria into the teeth.
It strengthens developing teeth, making them more resistant to decay, and can reverse early signs of decay.
