I grind my teeth and wear a mouthguard (most nights). Before getting the mouthguard, I wore down the enamel on the grinding surface on my molars.
I’m wondering whether the teeth themselves will wear down quickly due to the missing enamel, leading to future more serious problems with my teeth. Generally my teeth are in good shape, except for this. (I just turned 50.)
I don’t care how they look (they’re far back in my mouth) but I was wondering whether sealing them with something would help preserve them, or whether any kind of coating would just wear off and be useless.
I looked around on the net and found good info on teeth in general, plus various cosmetic dentistry sites – but nothing on this particular question.
