Tooth grinding, also known as bruxism, and tooth erosion are common dental issues that can lead to significant oral health problems if left untreated. At Lake Pointe Family Dentistry in Charlotte, NC, we offer specialized care to address both tooth grinding and tooth erosion, helping you maintain a healthy and strong smile. Tooth grinding often occurs during sleep, leading to excessive wear and tear on your teeth, while tooth erosion is typically caused by acidic foods, beverages, or acid reflux, which gradually wears away the enamel on your teeth. Both conditions can result in tooth sensitivity, discomfort, and even tooth loss over time. Our dental team is committed to diagnosing and treating these issues early, providing you with effective solutions to protect your teeth and improve your overall oral health.

Our approach to treating tooth grinding and erosion includes a variety of tailored services designed to meet your specific needs. For tooth grinding, we often recommend custom-fitted nightguards that provide a protective barrier between your teeth, preventing further damage while you sleep. In cases of severe erosion, we may use dental bonding, veneers, or crowns to restore the damaged teeth and improve their appearance and function. Additionally, we provide education and guidance on lifestyle and dietary changes to help prevent further erosion and grinding. At Lake Pointe Family Dentistry, we are dedicated to preserving your smile and ensuring that your teeth remain strong, healthy, and beautiful for years to come.
