A lifetime of chewing and grinding results in wear and tear of the teeth. Treating dental problems early will prevent chronic health issues as a senior.
Key takeaways:
- Gingivitis – Gum disease damages the bone around the teeth. This usually leads to tooth loss.
- Tooth decay and sensitivity – Older adults also get affected by tooth decay and cavities.
- Oral cancer – As you age, your risk of getting oral cancer increases. This might be caused by some lifestyle choices like smoking.
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Also, start seeing your dentist for checkups.
