I used to have very healthy teeth. No cavities no aches.
Recently I am feeling that my teeth enamel is deteriorating very fast. The size of my teeth has become smaller. Sometimes I even have minor injuries on my gums when I chew something crispy due to smaller teeth.
At few spots on molars I even have very high sensitivity. When a small hard particle of food is chewed and goes to that spot the pain is unbearable for a minute or so. In general my teeth have become more sensitive. I have already switched to sensodine toothpaste. Further, gaps in between my teeth is also increased. Leading to food particles, specially non veg, getting stuck and causing pain too. Please suggest what should I do? Is there any way to get up any sort of cosmetic surgery with which I can grow a layer on my teeth?
Hello sir, from the context that you have mentioned I assume you have severe attrition (grinding of teeth as you mentioned) which leads to such symptoms like yours.
There are treatment procedures for symptomatic correction of this problem that you have. Amount of severity needs to be evaluated first
Next Steps
I would recommend you to visit a specialist.
You can visit us at Dr PS Ratta Dental and Implant clinic, Shalimar Bagh.
Consult a dentist as the cause of wearing out of your teeth should be evaluated. Your occlusion could be faulty which will require correction. Braces may be required for that.
