Understanding Worn-Down Bites and Tooth Wear

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.
