Dental Attrition treatment in Guasave

Dental attrition is the gradual wear of the enamel and the surface of the teeth that is produced by repeated contact between them, for example when chewing or clenching the teeth.

Common causes: It is usually associated with grinding or clenching the teeth, sometimes involuntarily during sleep or in stressful situations.

Signs to watch for: Shorter or flatter teeth, sensitivity, and changes in the bite.

Which specialist treats it? General dentistry assesses the wear and, depending on the case, orthodontics may be involved. If you notice that your teeth are wearing down or that you clench your jaw, discussing it with your dentist allows you to take care of your oral health in time.
