As people get older, they get smaller. I was wondering if its possible that your teeth could shrink as well, and if they got too small could they fall out ?

Teeth get thinner through wear and from acid attack and start to look yellow because the dentine? shows through. Gums also recede making teeth loose.
Some parts of the body get bigger though, like the ears. Strangley enough old people don't hear better despite this growth, so I'm not sure why their ears get bigger. By coincidence 'ear' sounds like 'hear' to old people, or people getting on in ears. -
Ah, so I am getting bigger, but my teeth are staying the same size. As my gob and ears get bigger my teeth will fall out.
I knew there was a scientific explanation. Thanks TW

If your gums bleed, it means they're inflamed, which stops them gripping your teeth so well, so they get loose and fall out.
My dentist reckons that there are four types of people; those who get gum disease so their teeth fall out, those who get tooth decay so their teeth fall out, toothless people, and really smug gits.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
