It can result from various factors, including grinding, acid erosion, acid reflux, clenching, and abrasion on old crowns.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h4-text\">The Consequences of Untreated Tooth Wear<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If left untreated, tooth wear can lead to complications such as nerve problems in the affected teeth, collapse of the bite, and aesthetic issues where the teeth seem to recede under the lips, resulting in a toothless appearance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>How Can Tooth Wear Be Managed?<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Tooth wear can be effectively managed through the use of night splints and by addressing the underlying causes. Treatment often involves multiple teeth requiring crowns, veneers, or implants, along with comprehensive bite reconstruction. Our Prosthodontist specialises in this complex area of dentistry, offering tailored solutions to restore your smile and oral health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>What happens after the treatment?<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]After addressing tooth wear, it&#8217;s crucial to maintain regular dental check-ups and follow the recommended oral hygiene practices. This includes brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and avoiding habits that contribute to tooth wear, such as grinding and clenching. By following these guidelines, you can help preserve the integrity of your teeth and maintain a healthy smile.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tooth
