Tooth Changes with Age

With age, teeth become more yellow due to thinning enamel and dentin showing through.

Teeth also become stained and begin to wear down, a process known as attrition.

Losing teeth is not a normal part of aging. With access to dental care, older adults can keep their teeth throughout their lives.
