My dentist says that dental enamel is never replenished and we have to make do with the adult set of teeth throughout our grown-up lives. I can鈥檛 believe that after some 80 years of chomping and grinding, my teeth are still the same shape, without apparent signs of wear. Is he right? If so, why am I generally still toothily intact?
