Its technical name is 'attrition', and it depends on multiple factors such as the type of enamel, the occlusion (way of biting), the oral muscular strength, the type of food ingested, or dental absences.<\/li>\n<li>It mainly and primarily affects the enamel, although if it reaches the dentine, as the latter is softer, it will wear faster. In these cases, tooth sensitivity usually appears.<\/li>\n<li>The incisors are the first to undergo attrition, followed by the cusps of the molars and premolars, and when this occurs the height of the tooth is reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Colour changes<\/u><\/strong>There are several theories, and it is debatable whether the darkening of the tooth with age is due to a change in the colour of the dentine due to ageing of its collagen fibres, which manifests itself through the enamel, or whether the enamel itself becomes more translucent with age or even slightly darker. What is clear is that teeth become more yellow with age.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1117\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1117\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.velezylozano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/diente-color-edad-dentista-murcia.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1117 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.velezylozano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/diente-color-edad-dentista-murcia.jpg?resize=250%2C173&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tooth-Colour-Age-Dentist-Murcia\" width=\"250\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1117\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tooth colour darkens with age<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Gingival recession<\/u><\/strong>is found when the gum \"shrinks\" exposing part of the tooth that was previously covered.
