I am a grandmother of three lovely grandsons, and I have teeth that are worn down. I went to the dentist, and he says it is the reason I am experiencing pain when I bite on something. Are my teeth worn down because I am old?

Yes. When we age, there is a natural breakdown of a lot of our body parts, including our bones, skin, joints and organs. Some people say even our brains will go!
