When you get older, do your teeth change?

Not like baby teeth to big teeth, but I have all my permanent teeth and in the front, there's a gap that's getting wider all of a sudden,and I think that's why my teeth are starting to ache. But anyway, does that happen when you get older, b/c like 2 years ago, there was barely enough room to get a string of floss through, now I feel like bugs bunny. But anyways, does it happen?

When you get older, do your teeth change?
Your skull will keep growing slowly until about age 18-20 or so. After that, you teeth should stay put.
Reply:yes, my teeth used to be so talkative, but now in their older age they just sit there, not saying a word.

Reply:Yes, as you grow older in your teenage years you start too develop new habbits, grinding your teeth at night, eating weird, not brushing it all depdns and your teeth shall change.
Reply:Go to the dentist, and say "hey wats up doc"
Reply:Even adult teeth are continually shifting at a slow pace. Generally they shift forward. If you are concerned, talk with your dentist.
Reply:Teeth move.... that's why you still have to wear a retainer even after braces. You just need to go to your dentist and they can move the teeth back..... no big deal.
Reply:if the space between your teeth are widening noticeably - you may have gum problems.





so if you are starting to bleed when brushing you need to stop brushing into the gums - brush from gums to end of teeth - make sure you use soft brush - gargle with listerin twice a day and always floss - use real gentle brush so as not to damage gums.





there is a period of time between cavities and gum disease where you start replacing large fillings with caps.





and grinding teeth (at night) can really shift things in your mouth and cause head aches.





when you get older cavities aren't your biggest problem - gum disease is.
Reply:like that happens too some people, but if you feel like this, then you should probably go too your Dr. and ask more about it.
