Where does Abrasion occur on my teeth?

Dr Susan Pan, DDSByDr Susan Pan, DDS Hours Reading Time: 1 minute

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.
