I have enamel erosion and recession, but only on my canines, the rest of my gums are totally fine with zero recession and are healthy. The enamel erosion has caused a pivot in my canines, though the right side is much worse, and that’s the side I use to chew. I noticed this when I was 12, so I don’t know how long it could have been there, and it hasn’t changed since. My teeth aren’t misaligned, and I have never brushed hard, or honestly, at all. Despite this, I do not have gingivitis, cavities, or stained teeth. I’ve looked into it, and I thought it could be an abfraction. However, for an abfraction to occur, you would either have bruxism or an acidic diet. I’ve never had bruxism, and my canines overlap my bottom teeth. If it were due to acidity, it would affect all teeth and not just my canines. Does anyone have this problem or know what it could be?
