Why Does the Way Your Teeth Come Together Matter as You Get Older?
You may not think about your bite very often. If you can eat comfortably and your teeth seem to fit together, why would you? But your bite doesn’t stay the same throughout your life. Teeth can shift, dental work can change how they meet, and years of chewing, clenching, or grinding can gradually leave their mark. Paying attention to those changes can help you keep your natural teeth healthy and functional for the long term.
