Should I check my bite regularly even if I don't have any specific pain?

Lately, it feels like I put more force on my teeth on only one side when chewing food, but since there is no pain, I am wondering if I need to go to the dentist.

I've heard that teeth can gradually wear down or shift position as you get older, so I'm worried if I should just ignore it.

I would like to know if it is possible to detect these changes even when there is no pain.
