Other than that,you also need to be more careful in choosing toothpaste as it might contain abrasive material. If you not sure, you can refer to the dentist as they might recommend the proper toothpaste to solve your problem. Moreover, biting habit also can lead to this matter as for example nail biting as if this cannot be controlled it may worsen the condition.
