Teeth, those vital little organs in the oral cavity, play a fundamental role in our daily lives, from chewing to phonation and aesthetics. However, despite their apparent hardness, teeth are not exempt from the ageing process, which can manifest itself in various ways. Let's look at them in detail.<\/p>\n

Why do teeth age?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Teeth, consisting of the crown and root, are exposed to a number of factors that can accelerate their ageing. Enamel, the outermost mineralised layer, is crucial for protecting the tooth. However, bruxism, the habit of clenching or grinding the teeth, can wear down the enamel, contributing to premature ageing.<\/p>\n

In addition, abrasion, the result of vigorous tooth brushing, and erosion, caused by prolonged exposure to acids in the diet and body, also affect the integrity of enamel. Dental staining, caused by smoking and certain foods such as coffee, wine and tea, is another indicator of dental ageing.<\/p>\n

Over time, more complex problems such as periodontal disease, dental crowding and missing teeth can give the appearance of an ageing smile. Loss of supporting tissue, tooth malposition and missing teeth are challenges that can arise over the years.<\/p>\n

Solutions to dental ageing<\/h2>\n

Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a variety of advanced treatments designed to rejuvenate and preserve the youthfulness of your smile. These procedures not only address cosmetic issues, but also contribute to overall oral health. Let's take a brief overview.<\/p>\n

Tooth whitening<\/h3>\n

Tooth whitening is an effective procedure to remove stains and discolouration, restoring teeth to their natural lustre. By using whitening agents, this treatment not only improves aesthetics, but also counteracts the effects of ageing caused by the consumption of pigmented substances and the passage of time.<\/p>\n

Dental veneers<\/h3>\n

Dental veneers are like a personalised work of art for your teeth. These thin sheets of porcelain or composite resin are bonded to the front of teeth, correcting aesthetic imperfections and providing a protective coating. Beyond aesthetic improvement, veneers strengthen teeth, contributing to dental rejuvenation. A perfect example is this case:<\/p>\n
