I am only 20 but my teeth are abnormally worn. QI should -- L. I H. A. Abnormal tooth wear is called As inabrasion dividuals grow oider, their teeth will naturally show signs of wearing down due to normal use in mastication. Normal wear of teeth, such as is found in most persons at the age of 40, is not considered true abrasion. Many persons in the late twenties and early thirties have teeth so considerably worn that mouth disfigurement results. Treatment of abrasion is difficult but if taken early, the dentist can render much assistance by placing fillings in certain teeth to relieve the wear on the rest of the teeth. Strict observance of the mouth is then maintained and as the fillings wear down, or the enamel or dentin of other teeth show signs of abrasion, additional fillings are employed. Eating large amounts of calcium foods, while generally healthful, will have no beneficial effect on this condition.
