Teeth get old as everything else in your body.
Do you wonder why your wiener is not as fit as it used to be when you were 21.
As our body ages collagen, the protein structural matrix degrades. As a result you can easily see your skin sagging. On the same page when teeth loose collagen they become more brittle and less "flexible" because of the lack of this protein cushion.
Add long life expectancy..... In the USA life expectancy in the 1960s was 60ish..
Life expectancy in healthy modern socioeconomic groups is pushing over 90 today
Parts get old........
Go to the dentist, get your regular checks fix things before are not fixable.
