Neck wear not only causes teeth to lose aesthetics, not confidence when smiling, but also causes discomfort, making chewing, oral hygiene difficult, causing teeth to break even lose teeth. Timely detection and cure will preserve teeth, avoid complications.

1. What is tooth neck wear?

Tooth neck wear is a condition where the hard organization in the neck area of the tooth is lost. The hard organization of the teeth consists of enamel and dentures. Neck wear can lose enamel or both enamel and dentures.

When enamel and dentures are lost, they will not be replaced naturally.

2. Causes of tooth neck wear

Unlike diseases of the teeth that are usually caused by bacteria, the cause of neck wear mainly comes from unscular oral hygiene habits and an uns reasonable diet of the person.

  • Brush your teeth the wrong way: brushing your teeth too hard, using a hard brush to rub against the surface of the tooth will make the hard organization of the teeth wear out quickly. Brushing teeth horizontally also makes the benefit easily drop low, exposing the root of the tooth, the position of the tooth neck to the root of the tooth only has a ivory cover, there is no protective hard tooth enamel, so when the profit drops, the tooth neck is prone to wear and the wear rate will be faster.
  • Keep your teeth clean: the remaining food clings to the tooth surface and in the interdental part, for a long time the food will turn into an acidic environment that causes tooth neck wear.
  • The habit of using foods that are too sour for a constant period of time.
  • Exposure to acid and organic soft drinks: statistics show that workers exposed to acidic vapors and dust (lead battery production,…) have severe tooth neck wear. Soft drinks with gas such as coca-cola, sprite,… low acidity is also prone to neck wear and tear.

  • Teeth are deviated, crowded: the benefits in the teeth grow thinner in other teeth, so the benefits are prone to dropping and worn out the neck.
  • The bite is not normal.
  • Teeth are subjected to bending at the neck of the tooth that is not worth having due to many causes.
  • The habit of chewing, grinding food.
  • Genetic factors: causing disturbances that form the hard organization of the teeth, making the teeth "softer" and the teeth more prone to wear.
  • General pathology or side effects of medications for the disease.

3. Manifestations of tooth neck wear

At first, tooth neck wear is only a small groove in the neck of the tooth close to the tooth, which can be detected by the eyes or by examination instruments. You haven't seen any pain or any discomfort.

The next stage, the groove is enlarged, has a V-shape. You will see your teeth are eerated when eating hot, cold, sour, inhaled or when brushing your teeth. Unpleasant sensations affect chewing and living. The benefit can be lowered, the root of the tooth is more exposed, the more you lose your teeth and the teeth lose their aesthetics. Food can be squeezed into the groove, stimulating the benefit of red inflammation, bleeding, bad mouth.

The feeling of teeth being eroded is one of the manifestations of neck wear

If you ignore or go uns treated, the worn part touches the pulp of the tooth, you will be in pain. If the pulp dies, it will cause inflammation in the tip area of the root of the tooth (tooth stalk area), swollen, purulent, painful, wobbly teeth. If the wear is too deep, the teeth may break horizontally. The benefits drop a lot, the root of the teeth is exposed a lot. Seriously affects oral and full-body health.

4. Why cure tooth decay?

As said above, tooth neck wear is a common disease of teeth but is easily ignored. Patients only come for treatment when they feel discomfort or swelling of the gums. At that time it was possible that the condition of the teeth was bad and the healing to retain the teeth was greatly limited.

Early detection and treatment of cervical wear and tear brings many benefits:

  • Avoid complications of neck wear: cavities, dead pulp, inflammation of the tooth stalk area, tooth fractures,… adversely affects body health.
  • No more feelings of erosion, discomfort when eating or living caused by tooth wear.
  • Avoid bad breath, redness, swelling, bleeding due to food squeezed in the neck wear slit.
  • More aesthetic teeth.
  • Lower treatment costs.

5. How to cure tooth wear?

Dental experts all assess that tooth neck wear is curable and not difficult. The treatment is only really difficult to solve when corrosion destroys many tooth organizations, causing pulp death, infection of the tooth stalk or tooth fracture. Therefore, as soon as you detect that the neck of the tooth shows signs of wear and tear, you need to quickly go to the dentist for early treatment.

In the early stages: tooth neck wear is a smaller or larger slot that is V-shaped but has not affected the pulp. Treatment is: the dentist will remove the disease organization, use tooth welding material compatible with the tooth organization and have the same color as the color of the teeth to fill the gap. The welding of teeth both compensates for the lost tooth, protects the teeth, removes the tooth erosion, and ensures the aesthetics of the teeth.

In the later stages: when the pulp of the tooth has been affected causing pain, inflammation of the tooth stalk area or fracture across the body of the tooth. Treatment is: cure the pulp, recreate the tooth stem with a welding substance and the teeth need to be wrapped with a scan to protect the teeth.

6. Some suggestions to help you prevent tooth neck wear:

  • You should change your daily oral hygiene habits: use a soft-haired toothbrush; use Fluor toothpaste to brush your teeth; brush your teeth vertically or rotate; brush your teeth slowly and gently, without rubbing the tooth surface; brush clean on the inside, outer and top sides of all teeth. Proper brushing will help clean the teeth, gently massage the tooth area to help increase blood circulation for good, healthy benefits without causing lag. but just brushing your teeth is not enough. Combining proper brushing and using dental threads to clean interdental teeth is the most effective method of cleaning teeth.
  • You should avoid snacking, eat a lot of hard, chewy food.
  • You should limit the use of too sour, sweet, gasy foods.
  • You should carefully ask your treating doctor about the side effects of the drug on the teeth, salivation in the mouth,…
  • You should schedule your own dental examination every 6 months to remove high teeth, plaque on the tooth surface and make appropriate adjustments to your teeth.
  • You should follow the advice of the dentist.
