DOES ENAMEL WEAKEN WITH AGE?:

Some of my senior patients ask this question and the answer is “No”. However, if there are many existing fillings placed throughout your lifetime, you can get fractures of the enamel. Enamel has different strengths—some being brittle and some being soft. In life, “you get what you get” when you are born and you have to deal with what happens as you get older.
