Damage to your teeth or tooth wear can be caused by any process that results in loss of integrity of the tooth surface. Tooth decay is a bacteria-caused form of tooth damage. The other forms of tooth damage are the result of mechanical or chemical assault to the tooth structure which may be brought about by your daily habits for example grinding in your sleep and tooth brushing.

Acquired tooth wear can be classified into attrition, abrasion, erosion, abfraction and fracture.
