BRITTLE TEETH

BRITTLE TEETH

There are several conditions and situations that can lead to brittle teeth, including genetic influences, nutritional deficiencies, and even the natural aging process.

Poor oral care

Neglecting dental care can lead to bad breath, swollen gums, and even dangerous infections. Poor oral hygiene can also lead to weak enamel and brittle or damaged teeth.

Nutritional deficiencies

There are many vitamins and minerals that are essential for your teeth to stay healthy and strong. Deficiencies in the vitamins and minerals that your teeth need can leave them weakened and brittle.

A few of the nutrients vital to the health of your teeth include:

Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin D Calcium Phosphorus

Your teeth are strong, but they are not impervious. Acids, even relatively weak acids, can prove exceptionally destructive to the enamel that protects the root of the tooth.

Exposure to acids

Teeth that are chipped or otherwise damaged are more prone to become brittle, especially if the damage allows the pulp inside the tooth to become inflamed or dried out. Grinding your teeth at night wears down the enamel and can lead to chipping and cracking, leading to tooth pain.
