Abrasion of teeth - what does this mean
Abrasion of teeth occurs when the enamel of the tooth is worn away due to aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, or the use of hard toothbrushes. it can also occur if a person is using certain acidic foods or drinks, such as citrus fruits or sodas, which can erode the enamel.
What happens during the disease - abrasion of teeth
Abrasion of teeth is a condition in which the outer layer of the tooth enamel is worn away due to excessive force from activities such as brushing, grinding, and chewing. it is commonly caused by poor dental hygiene, including inadequate brushing and flossing, as well as the use of hard-bristled toothbrushes and excessive force when brushing. other contributing factors include the presence of certain acids in the diet, such as those found in citrus fruits, and the presence of bacteria that can erode the enamel. in some cases, abrasion of teeth can be caused by medical conditions such as bruxism, which is a condition in which a person unconsciously clenches and grinds their teeth.
