What Are Dental Abrasions?

A dental abrasion is an irregular wearing down of the tooth's surface. The abrasion usually presents itself as a v-shaped nick on the bottom of your tooth. There are many habits and elements that can lead to dental abrasions, such as:

Brushing teeth with unnecessary force.
Ill-fitting dental clasps on your dentures.
Regularly using a hard-bristle toothbrush.
Habitually eating or drinking foods and beverages with a high acid content.
Oral piercings that scrape your teeth.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR MY CHILD TO SEE A DENTIST?

Dental abrasions can lead to serious oral complications, such as nerve exposure and tissue damage. Abrasions can also have a negative impact on the look of your smile and your confidence. Some of the symptoms of dental abrasions include:

Small v-shaped indents appearing on the bottom of your tooth, near your gum line.
Abnormal tooth sensitivity to the heat or cold.
Pain in your tooth.
Sensitive or aching gums.
