Description
Danielle C Messias and co-authors published a 2026 study of risk signs for erosive tooth wear, the slow loss of tooth surface from acids not made by germs. They reviewed records at a university dental school in the Midwest United States. The aim was to spot which patients dentists should watch most closely.
They compared 2,482 patients with the wear against 2,967 without it, using records from 2019 to 2023. Wear linked to age 35 to 54, male sex, and habits like clenching or grinding the teeth. Eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia showed the strongest link. No link appeared for dry mouth, reflux, alcohol use, sleep apnea, or brushing frequency. The authors say early spotting of these signs can guide tailored prevention.
