The Three Main Types of Tooth Wear
- Attrition: Wear on the chewing surfaces from tooth-to-tooth contact. This is the classic sign of bruxism (teeth grinding).
- Abrasion: Wear typically seen as notching near the gumline, caused by mechanical forces like aggressive brushing.
- Erosion: The chemical dissolution of enamel by acids, not from bacteria. This is caused by acidic foods/drinks or acid reflux.
