Answers:
Hi Dear,
you teeth are not worn down because you are eating a lot of food-- most boys of your age could eat a house!!
Now, to your question.
Causes of worn down teeth include;
-- tooth surface loss as in abrasion, erosion and attrition
--bruxism (grinding down your teeth)
--Dentinogenesis imperfecta (structurally weak teeth)
-- Amelogenesis imperfecta (structurally weak teeth)
-- Severe enamel hypoplasia (structurally weak teeth)
-- Regional odontodysplasia (ghost teeth)
5. many others.
How to know the difference'....... see a dentist.
