Medical Conditions - Attrition Of Teeth

Teeth attrition is a type of dental wear caused by tooth to tooth contact. The friction caused by tooth rubbing wears the biting surface of the teeth. It often occurs due to aging. In some cases, it occurs due to dental diseases and eating habits. The symptoms of attrition are sore gums, loss of tooth structure, increased dental pain, and tooth discoloration. It is treated depending on the cause. Orthodontic treatment helps to fix tooth alignment, and dental restorations help to restore damaged teeth.
