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

What Are Symptoms of Dental Abrasions?

Dental abrasions can seriously harm your oral health and confidence in your smile. Abrasions can progress to harming the tissue and nerves of your tooth and lead to tooth decay. Some symptoms that indicate you may be suffering from dental abrasions are:

Increased tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
Tooth pain
The appearance of small, v-shaped indents on the bottom of your tooth
Sore or tender gums
