Welcome to Dr. Arman Torbati's Dental Blog

Teeth grinding, which is also referred to as "bruxism," is a condition that wears the enamel and dentin down on the teeth. Teeth grinding can create a huge problem for oral health. As time goes on, it steadily becomes worse. In the beginning, enamel erodes, and teeth slowly begin to wear away resulting in "attrition." This leads to teeth that are irregularly shaped and goes on to create dental fractures, tooth loss and the necessity for root canals and other restorative dental procedures. If your teeth appear to be flattened, you may be unknowingly grinding your teeth. If you are suffering from the effects of teeth grinding, you will need teeth grinding treatment Los Angeles. Time is of the essence. Make an appointment to see our Century City dentist as quickly as possible.

Aggressive tooth brushing removes the outer portion of the teeth, which is called "enamel." It can also remove the thin layer that's situated behind enamel, which is called "dentin." At times, people brush with a "heavy hand," and at other times, people choose toothbrushes that have hard bristles. Both of these practices can cause a lot of problems for the mouth. We can help restore your dental health, but it's better to avoid problems in the first place.
