One in three young adults suffer from tooth wear, study shows

shutterstock_347828039Escarcel, a recent pan-European study, among 3,187 subjects aged 18-35, concluded that one in three young adults suffer from tooth wear.

In a survey of 200 dental professionals completed in 2013, 84% said they see signs of erosive tooth wear on a weekly basis and 86% felt the condition is on the rise. This emphasises how common erosive tooth wear is throughout the population.
