Tooth Wear in Romford

Signs of tooth wear include:

• Teeth looking shorter or flatter
• Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
• Rough or sharp edges on teeth
• Yellowing due to enamel thinning
• Small cracks or chips in the teeth

While enamel cannot regenerate, worn teeth can be repaired with restorative treatments such as composite bonding, veneers, crowns, or other solutions tailored to your needs.

The best treatment depends on the severity of the wear and the underlying cause. Options may include:

• Lifestyle changes – Adjusting diet, managing stress, and treating acid reflux.
• Mouthguards – Protecting teeth from grinding at night.
• Composite bonding – A minimally invasive way to restore lost structure.
• Crowns or veneers – For more severe wear, these can rebuild and strengthen teeth.

Yes, restoring worn teeth can help rebalance your bite, reducing strain on the jaw and relieving symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and tension.

• Reduce acidic food and drink consumption.
• Wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth.
• Treat any underlying medical conditions like acid reflux.
• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
