As the years go by, you may notice changes in your smile—teeth can look duller, develop cracks, or feel more sensitive. You might even wonder if they’re becoming brittle. While aging itself doesn’t directly make teeth brittle, certain factors like wear and tear, enamel erosion, and dental health habits over the years can take a toll. A Ft.

The good news is that brittle teeth can often be prevented—or at least managed—with good dental care. Regular checkups, fluoride treatments, and avoiding habits like grinding your teeth or using them as tools can make a big difference. Your dentist can also recommend specific treatments to strengthen your teeth, like dental bonding or protective crowns.
