Even our teeth are not immune to the passage of time. For example, the enamel, the protective layer of the tooth, wears away over time and through friction. It becomes thinner. Cavities can therefore develop more quickly, particularly at the base of the teeth. The dental pulp, the entire nerve and blood vessels, also ages. Over time, it retracts, hardens and is replaced by dentin. The teeth are less hydrated and less innervated. They therefore become more brittle and less sensitive to pain. Our gums are not immune either. They become thinner, retract on the teeth, and have less healing potential. This makes us more vulnerable to bacteria that attack our gums and therefore to tooth loss.
