Teeth can wear down over time due to:

• Tooth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

• Acid erosion from diet or reflux

• Normal ageing

• Bite misalignment

• Trauma or repeated chipping

Worn teeth can create bite problems that affect chewing, jaw comfort, and smile aesthetics. Signs of excessive wear include:

• Flattened tooth surfaces or wear facets

• Chipped or fractured teeth

• Shortened tooth height

• Tooth sensitivity

• Uneven bite or jaw discomfort

If left untreated, bite wear can lead to more severe dental problems and TMJ discomfort.
