Answers:
It can be caused by brushing too hard/ with a toothbrush that is too hard bristled (medium/hard toothbrush are a NO, NO!, vigorous scrub brushing is a NO, NO!, only gentle circles with a soft toothbrush and if your bristles start to flare out it means you brush too hard)!. It can also be caused by grinding teeth or clenching teeth, mainly during your sleep!. Wearing a nightguard to bed will help prevent further damage!. You can buy one from the store or have your dentist make you one!. You can't fix the damage without a filling or crown, but you can stop it from getting worse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Withouth seeing these I cannot be 100% positive, but from their location they are most likely what are called imbrication lines!. These are developmental structures that are normal and are indicative of no problem with the tooth!. They can best be described as little bumps or lines running horizontally across the teeth!. Otherwise, these can be spots of enamel demineralization which, without proper care, can lead to cavities!. A spot of demineralization would appear to look chalky and be a little bit whiter than the rest of the teeth!. Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
