Even when you aren\u2019t eating your teeth come together when you talk, swallow or clench your jaw. Tooth bonding sits in that busy area so some wear is natural.<\/p>\n<p>Back teeth usually get damage because they handle stronger chewing forces. Front teeth have their challenges. Biting your nails or tearing packaging with your front teeth puts direct pressure on the bonded area.<\/p>\n<h2>Habits make a difference<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Nail biting can chip the edge especially when tooth bonding is near the front of the tooth.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Hard foods aren\u2019t a problem but biting straight into something very hard gives the tooth bonding extra work.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Teeth grinding is an issue because the pressure keeps coming even while you\u2019re asleep. You don\u2019t even know it\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<h2>Staining changes how tooth bonding looks<\/h2>\n<p>Composite resin doesn\u2019t act like natural enamel. Its surface can collect stains over time especially if the tooth bonding is older or has become slightly rough.<\/p>\n<p>The tooth bonding may still be in place. It just doesn\u2019t look as fresh as it did after treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>The surface slowly loses its smoothness<\/h2>\n<p>polished tooth bonding feels almost invisible. Your tongue doesn\u2019t keep bumping into it.<\/p>\n<p>Years of chewing and brushing can gradually make that surface rough. Small scratches can hold onto stains easily. A thin edge can grow weaker after repeated pressure. Eventually the tooth bonding might need polishing or repair of a full replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>Your bite can speed things up<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes the problem isn\u2019t the tooth bonding itself. It\u2019s where the tooth bonding is placed.<\/p>\n<p>If two teeth hit each other heavily in one spot that bonded section gets force, than the rest. Someone who grinds their teeth can have the problem but on a larger scale.<\/p>\n<h2>So why does tooth bonding wear out?<\/h2>\n<p>Tooth bonding wears out because it is being used. It is exposed to chewing pressure and everyday habits while the composite material slowly changes with time. Some teeth can keep their tooth bonding looking good for years. Others need attention sooner because of how they bite or what they do with their teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyday biting takes its toll Your teeth work all the time.
