Teeth grinding (bruxism) can accelerate the natural wear-and-tear process. There are various symptoms commonly associated with bruxism, including pain in jaw muscles, headaches, sensitivity in teeth, tooth wear, and sleep disturbances due to persistent pain. Cause of such dental abrasion may also arise from interaction of teeth with other objects such as toothbrushes, toothpicks, floss, and ill-fitting dental retainers & dentures, or any history of adverse oral habits such as nail biting, chewing tobacco, improper brushing techniques are subjected to higher risks of abrasion. This can result in younger patients having teeth that are significantly worn well before their time.

Worn teeth can be addressed with many dental treatment options. Not treating them can result in the teeth becoming susceptible to damage as well as difficulty chewing.
