Aging and Your Oral Health

 

Many factors are involved in how aging impacts our bodies. Our teeth and oral health are no exceptions. It is a myth that as you age, tooth loss is inevitable. With proper care and maintenance, your teeth can last you a lifetime!

Some physiological changes that you may notice as you age include symptoms of xerostomia (dry mouth), periodontitis (gum disease), and root and coronal caries (decay). It is important that older adults continue to focus on the prevention of cavities and gum disease.

Fortunately, with new technological and scientific advances, preventative dentistry is helping maturing adults keep their natural teeth for much longer than was the case in years past. This article will walk you through some important symptoms to be aware of and what measures you can take to prevent oral diseases and promote overall good health.
