“When the tooth loses its natural structure, it is more sensitive, less resistant and more inclined to fractures. Over time, this can generate chewing pain, gingival retraction, change in the bite and even tempororomandibular articulation problems (TMJ)”, explains the dental surgeon and the coordinator of the coordinator of Uniderpistry, Luiz Fernando Maziero.
According to the expert, the gradual loss of dental structure may seem harmless at the beginning and disturbing only for aesthetic reasons, but the condition can be associated with daily habits and even disorders, with consequent serious consequences for oral health and general well -being.
