The enamel which has been lost cannot be recovered  but using a night guard can prevent further damage. Visit a dentist immediately to get a nighguard. If sensitivity had started dat too can be controlled
Next Steps
visit dentist

Hi. There are two ways of treating teeth grinding. One is mouth/night guard and the second one is Relaxing your massater muscle and temporalis muscle using “Botox”. You can ping me if you need more information.

Just make sure you use the night guard regularly. Replace it when it wears out. If teeth get very flattened they may need restorations like crowns etc
