I had one dentist put some kind of lacquer type of thing on my molars (so that this material is ground down instead). But I've never been able to find another dentist that does it

Maybe somebody knows what this procedure is called?

Fissure seals?

Fissure sealant was what I think I had as a kid. Teeth were cleaned + dried with air + sealant was `painted on` + cured with UV I think.

yeah, looks like that's it. It's a bit uncomfortable to chew the first few days but I'm guessing it does the trick. Maybe it's suboptimal for teeth grinding? But sleeping with a guard sounds way more of a hassle
