Anything that you do to your adult teeth will be there for the rest of your life. The dentist can make repairs to make the tooth last longer.

We may suffer a tooth problem but it is not permanent. Every cause has proper treatment. When we face a dental problem then we must go to a dentist.

It can be. Some tooth decay, if caught early, can be reversed by using special prescription fluoride tooth paste and rinses. Teeth can also be whitened if you consider stains to be signs of damage. Other tooth damage is permanent, including cavities and chipped teeth.

Yes, damage to a tooth is permanent. But there are ways to fix it. For example, if the tooth is chipped, then a dentist could always do some cosmetic remedy for it.

Tooth damage is somewhat permanent. A chipped tooth for example is permanent unless you have it repaired with an artificial tooth.
