As Co-Editor of the British Dental Journal book on Tooth Surface Loss, Andrew has a special interest in the aetiology and management of patients with tooth wear and is also Clinical Director of the London Tooth Wear Centre®.

In contrast to tooth decay and gum disease, an increasingly common problem is teeth which simply wear down or dissolve away to varying extents as time passes.

As a result of one or more of the following causes, teeth may become short and unattractive as well as rough or sensitive:

• Abrasion – excessive rubbing of enamel and dentine from, for example, tooth brushing or porcelain crowns
• Attrition – through tooth grinding and clenching which normally occurs at night
• Erosion – from eating acidic foods and drinks or having stomach acid problems

An early diagnosis is essential so that prevention rather than more complex treatment can be provided to maintain satisfactory function and a pleasing appearance.

We look forward to helping and advising you with regard to this increasingly common problem.
