Dentists in Essex and cosmetic dentist all over UK, are seeing many people with receding gums and tooth wear at gum margins.

Tooth brushing
One reason for this wear known as tooth abrasion is from brushing incorrectly or with a hard tooth brush.

Cosmetic dentist and oral hygiene
Correct tooth brushing techniques are very important to avoid tooth wear.  This tooth wear can lead to sensitivity and unsightly worn teeth. Cosmetic dentists generally recommend softer brushes and techniques shown by dental hygienists.

Treatment of tooth wear
If teeth are worn a dentist can either fill the worn cavities or apply de-sensitizers for shallower cavities.  This will reduce pain and the fillings can benefit with cosmetics.

Cosmetic dentistry and when to brush
If you have just eaten especially if it is an acidic food or drink it is better to wait at least an hour before brushing  your teeth.  Brushing your teeth immediately after drinking or eating acidic can lead to further damage and wear.

Dental hygienist and oral hygiene
Visiting the dental hygienist will help you on how and when to brush.  Brushing must be accompanied with flossing and interdental brushes.  As tooth brushing alone will not clean in between the teeth.
