Does minor tooth abrasions have to be treated or left alone?

Depends on the depth: You specifically stated MINOR abrasions so I would guess they could be left alone. Obviously, seeing the extend of abrasion would make this answer easier. My guidelines are based upon the depth of the abrasion and if sensitivity is present. Consult with your treating dentist and discuss it with him or her.

Minor tooth abrasion: Not sure what you mean by minor tooth abrasions. This is something that would require a clinical and visual exam to make any treatment recommendations. Best advice: ask you dentist
