Does chewing betel nuts are harmful for my teeth ?
-Chewing betel nut is a process of extravagant force on the
muscles of jaw which is not normal.
-This kind of abnormal force will cause deteriorating effect
on the teeth.
-Any force which is having a force more than routine chewing
will cause some damage.
-The superficial effect of any flavored betel nut will cause
staining of the teeth.
-Due to regular betel nut chewing the teeth surface get
roughened and the molar teeth get flattened.
-This process in turn will lead to permanent loss of tooth
structure.
-Due to any wearing off, of the top layer of the tooth, the
dentin layer of the tooth will get expose and can cause sensitivity.
-In some conditions cervical facets which is gap between
neck of the teeth and gums may appear, which needs filling of that space with
specialized material.
-In some conditions due to heavy forces many teeth get
attrited or flattened, then one has to go for extensive dental treatment for aligning
jaw lines back to normal.
