A desire for healthy lifestyles was identified as a potential reason for the increase in levels of tooth wear amongst younger patients. Habits including drinking hot water with lemon or snacking on fruit, vegetables and juices can all play a part. It was also highlighted that the stresses of modern life have led to increased signs of bruxism and tooth grinding in practice.
