What to do if teeth are severely worn

We usually chew food with our teeth every day. Over the years, the teeth will be worn to a certain extent. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, some people have poor eating habits, which often lead to severe tooth wear. At this time, they are prone to eating some hot, cold, sour, and sweet foods, which cause more irritating sensitive reactions and are more harmful to health. When the teeth are worn particularly severely, you can repair the teeth according to the specific symptoms. In addition, you should pay attention to your diet. When brushing your teeth, try to control the force as much as possible. For people whose teeth are severely worn, crowns can be made to protect the original teeth. This will prevent increased wear.

1. Don’t rush to brush your teeth after drinking.

If you drink red wine or other alcohol, do not brush your teeth immediately, otherwise the acidic red wine will cause the tooth enamel to soften, and brushing your teeth will easily damage your teeth. It is best to rinse your mouth first and then brush your teeth half an hour later.

2. Eat more strawberries.

Strawberries are a fruit that is very good for teeth. Eating more strawberries can lighten the yellow color of teeth. You can try it, but be sure to persist.

3. Avoid eating too much dark-colored fruits.

Some dark-colored fruits, such as blueberries, cherries, etc., will stain your teeth if you eat too much. In addition, you should drink less strong tea and coffee to avoid tooth staining.

4. Pay attention to the time of brushing your teeth.

If you want to protect your teeth, you should master the time to brush your teeth. The scientific time is to brush your teeth before meals, and it is better to brush your teeth before going to bed.

5. Control the strength when brushing your teeth.

Brushing your teeth too hard can damage your gums and increase tooth wear. So don't use too much force, just brush your teeth gently, be gentler on the surface of the teeth, and you can use a little more force in the tooth sockets.

6. Try to brush your teeth with warm water.

Brushing your teeth with warm water can protect your teeth, so it is best to brush your teeth with warm water as much as possible.

7. Those with severe tooth hypoplasia should have crowns placed as early as possible to protect their original teeth.

Different tooth abrasion methods can be selected according to the different degrees of tooth abrasion. If you are only sensitive to cold, heat, sourness, sweetness, etc., you can consider using porcelain veneer technology for treatment. If the defect at the incisor tip or the wedge-shaped defect at the tooth neck can be restored with porcelain teeth, those with weak teeth should be further protected with cosmetic crowns.
