Why My Teeth are Damaged, Short and Worn Down?

by craigieburn dentist

There are a number of potential reasons your teeth could be damaged, short and worn down. If you can’t think of other reasons you could be grinding your teeth during sleep.

Tooth grinding has a number of symptoms, some of these include teeth that:

-Are gradually shortening and wearing down over the years
-Have generalised chips and cracks, or
-Are gradually thinning

Whatever the damage is, it is important to look into all possible options to strengthen your teeth as certain damage on teeth can lead to further deterioration and in the worst case scenario loss of teeth. Past a certain point, it can be more expensive to fix than if the problems had been addressed earlier.
