What Are Dental Abrasions?
Dental abrasions are abnormal wear on a tooth's surface. A dental abrasion typically appears as a v-shaped indent on the bottom of your tooth, near your gums. Many factors and habits can cause dental abrasions, including:
- Habitual use of a hard-bristle toothbrush
- Using excessive force when brushing teeth
- Regularly drinking or eating highly acidic foods or beverages
- Lip or tongue piercings that scratch against your teeth
- Dentures with improperly fitted dental clasps
