IS CERVICAL TOOTH ABRASION REVERSIBLE?

By: Smileway Dental

Cervical tooth abrasion can be noticeable as the gums slightly recedes causing the neck of the tooth to expose. The causes of this problem are multifactorial as it may be affected by the method of tooth brushing, the usage of abrasive toothpaste and biting or chewing on hard objects which results in enameland cementum wear off.

Gradual loss of enamel coating can cause sensitivity that may further lead to increasing risk of dental decay. Many of us might think that cervical abrasion is irreversible but it actually can be treated by improving the way we brush our teeth. Practicing proper method of brushing using soft bristle toothbrush can help to cope with this matter. 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. 

If cervical tooth abrasion remains untreated, there will be increased chance of having plaque trapping which may cause periodontal disease. So, to overcome this dental problem there are some solution that you might considered to go to the dentist for immediate treatment by using Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) and Composite Resin Restoration.

The response from time of my asking for an appointment (though last minute) was handled well. Staff was ensuring that if I couldn’t make the 5pm appointed time then she offered to reschedule. So I did for the next day. Dr Edwin was super nice and gave options to see that my swollen due to infection gum was treated with care. I only visit this clinic because of its professionalism. Cheers guys and keep up the great job ! Thanks.

People with dental phobia like me have an awareness that the fear is totally irrational, but with extensive experience in the field of dentistry, Dr Lisa provides efficient and compassionate patient care. I just had my tooth extraction this morning and it was painless…. Furthermore Dr Lisa are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unnecessary treatment. Thank you so much Dr Lisa 🙏

Got a bridge and implant done by Dr Jon this year. Still holding up, looking forward to next and hopefully final treatment for missing tooth. Flexible payment terms and polite staff. Give them a try if you haven’t.

Having great experience so far. The doctor are very attentive and explain things very thoroughly without pushing for unncesssary treatment. The clinic is well lit and very clean👍👍. It is on the first and second so it will be a bit hard if you have a bad leg.
