Tooth on extreme left and right on top, are shredding in bits(splinters coming off occasionally while brushing)?

Tooth splinters?: I am not sure if your problem is related to tooth decay or fracturing from bruxism or eating hard foods (or both). A personal visit to a dentist can determine the cause of the problem and appropriate treatment.

Decay: It appears those teeth are severely decayed. Please see a dentist asap to determine if they are restorable.
