Generally speaking, the thickness of adjacent enamel of normal tooth tissue is between 1.25 ~ 1.75 mm, and the thickness of 0.2-0.5mm can be removed in the tooth contact area. If properly handled and good oral hygiene is maintained, dental caries will not occur.

Of course, there will be some problems with slicing. No medical treatment is absolutely good or bad, just like the side effects of drugs. Some patients will feel uncomfortable with cold stimulation after enamel removal, which may be due to the large pulp cavity and thin pulp wall of permanent teeth.

Usually teenagers, this happens when permanent teeth just erupt, and there are fewer adults. There are also patients with dentin sensitivity and pain (such patients may have pathological wear and need to communicate with patients according to their dental conditions) and need to do some desensitization treatment.

Clinically, when we deal with it, we will re-trim and polish the sliced tooth shape, and also apply fluoride according to the situation. It is also suggested to use fluoride toothpaste for oral maintenance every day, which basically does not need to cause pathological tooth damage and dental caries rate.

Therefore, it will be better to analyze the reasons, evaluate the state of your teeth, listen to the doctor's advice, and weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
