Dentist Explains Causes of Rough Edges on Aging Teeth

THE BRIEF
1

Dentist Dr Sharmishtha Lad explained that teeth naturally change over time, developing small rough or jagged edges due to everyday wear and tear.

2

Contributing daily habits include teeth clenching and grinding, biting down on hard objects like ice or pens, and aggressive toothbrushing.

3

Acidic foods and beverages can soften tooth enamel temporarily, increasing vulnerability to friction and structural changes from the natural bite.
