My front teeth are short due to grinding and biting my nail
Q. My two bottom front teeth are very short, I think due to a habit of gritting my teeth (which I still do) and from biting my nails when I was younger. They are not unsightly and I do not have any problems with them but I wonder if they should be protected to prevent decay?
A. Very difficult to answer without carrying a detailed clinical examination.
If the wear is getting worse quickly then I would have to diagnose what is causing the wear. When I see patient in your same situation, we either try to stop the habit or ask them to wear a nightguard.
I hope this helps
