As we age, our oral health needs change. It's
important to understand how aging affects our
teeth and what we can do to maintain a healthy
smile.

1) Protecting Against Tooth Decay and Cavities
The teeth's protective layer wears down over
time, making them more susceptible to decay.
Regular checkups and cleanings can help prevent
this.
2) Dealing with Gum Disease
Consistent oral care and specialized tools like
electric brushes and flossing aids can help
seniors combat gum disease.
3) Addressing Dry Mouth
Staying hydrated and using saliva stimulants can
help prevent dry mouth and associated dental
issues in seniors.

4) Managing Tooth Sensitivity
With gentle care and tailored treatments, tooth
sensitivity shouldn't keep you from enjoying your
favorite foods as you age.
5) Replace Missing Teeth
Tooth loss is common in seniors, but replacing
missing teeth can restore the function and
appearance of your smile.
