Symptoms and signs of tooth abrasions
In a prior post we talked about what tooth abrasions are and how you can get them. Some signs that may indicate if you have tooth abrasions.
* Toothbrush abrasion causes V-shaped notches in the lower third of the teeth, near the gumline.
* Similar notches also can occur as a result of forces on the chewing surface of the teeth. These are called abfraction lesions. They have a different cause from abrasion, but can make the notching worse. Notches from abrasion by toothpicks may occur between the teeth.
* Abrasions can cause your teeth to be more sensitive to sweet, hot or cold food or drinks.
* Abrasions can also have an affect on how your teeth look.
Talk to your dentist if start see these signs and make sure to maintain regular dental visits in order to maintain your dental and oral health
