What is abrasion?
Abrasion is any type of mechanically induced loss of tooth structure. It is mainly caused by brushing the teeth improperly. We will show you the proper method to brush your teeth and which type of toothpaste to use to minimize any further wear. Improper tooth brushing can cause not only loss of tooth structure, but also gum recession. This usually leads to sensitivity to cold liquids and foods. We can apply desensitizing agents to the root surface to help relieve the discomfort, but the best method is prevention.
