Tooth wear is the loss of a hard dental surface. This condition might occur due to some external or internal factors. The physiological, as well as pathological factors also caused loss of tooth surface. The aim of the following survey was to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of the Najran population about tooth wear. A questionnaire-based study was conducted among the people of Najran. Questions regarding attitude and knowledge about tooth wear were asked from the participants. Data were collected and statistically analyzed. It has been seen that participants of both genders almost have the same knowledge about tooth wear. However, females were more concerned with their dietary habits and the use of fluoride toothpaste. The participants of all age groups were well familiar with tooth wear and its prevention. It has been clear from the results that residents of Najran have good knowledge about the causes of tooth wear and its prevention but there is a need to increase their practices and change their food habits to avoid the severity of Tooth wear.
牙齿磨损是牙齿硬组织表面的丧失。这种情况可能由于一些外部或内部因素而发生。生理因素以及病理因素也会导致牙齿表面丧失。以下调查的目的是评估奈季兰人群对牙齿磨损的认识和态度。在奈季兰人群中开展了一项基于问卷的研究。向参与者询问了有关牙齿磨损的态度和认识方面的问题。收集数据并进行统计分析。可以看出，男女参与者对牙齿磨损的认识几乎相同。然而，女性更关注自己的饮食习惯和含氟牙膏的使用。所有年龄组的参与者都非常熟悉牙齿磨损及其预防。结果表明，奈季兰居民对牙齿磨损的成因及其预防有很好的认识，但需要增加他们的实际行动并改变饮食习惯，以避免牙齿磨损的严重程度。
