Teeth Grinding habit leads to serious issues with all the teeth especially the premolars and molars.
Grinding causes attrition of teeth which usually leads to increased sensitivity to cold and hot food. Attrited and abraded teeth don't look good and are usually discolored also.
Grinding is usually associated with stress and fear. And in some cases, it's just a habit.
Next Steps
1. Consult a Dentist near you for Grinding. You should start using Night Guard while sleeping which would stop your teeth from further deteriorating.
2. The tooth which is excessively damaged should be treated accordingly. Some teeth may be cemented and some may require Root Canal Treatment and Crowns.
3. You can using Sensitivity toothpaste for 20-30 days if you have sensitivity.
4. If the grinding is stress related then you can also consult a Psychiatrist.
