It’s a painful condition that can occur after a tooth extraction when a blood clot doesn’t form or is lost, exposing the bone.
Over time, fillings can wear down, chip, crack, or fall out, or decay might form around them.
Abrasion most commonly occurs as a shiny V shaped groove at the gum line of the teeth contributing to a notching appearance.
Abrasion associated with a destructive diet will cause a flattening appearance of the chewing surfaces of the back teeth.
Dental products come in a wide range of abrasiveness. Because exposure to abrasive toothpastes occurs on a daily basis, it is important to select products that will minimize the abrasive risk to your teeth.
Brush and floss regularly, have professional cleanings, eat a balanced diet, avoid tobacco, and manage conditions like diabetes.
Using desensitizing toothpaste, avoiding acidic foods, using a soft-bristled toothbrush, and regular dental check-ups can help.
You may need to pause Invisalign treatment if you require a root canal or extensive dental work. Consult with your orthodontist for guidance.
