Symptoms that may indicate worn tooth enamel:
—Sensitivity: If your enamel is wearing away, you may notice pain or sensitivity to hot or cold beverages and food. Eating ice cream or drinking hot coffee may be unpleasant.
—Discoloration: When enamel wears away, the layer underneath called dentin becomes visible. Dentin naturally has a yellowish tone; thus, your teeth may appear more yellow.
—Chips and cracks: When your enamel wears away, your teeth become weaker and more vulnerable to chips and cracks from biting and chewing.
If you feel like your enamel is too sensitive or needs to be looked at by a dentist, call Springville Dentistry for an exam and consultation. 801-489-9456
