Today is National Seniors Day! As we celebrate the older adults in our lives, let’s remember that oral health deserves a little extra attention as we age. With age can come an increased ⬆️ risk of ➡️ dry mouth, gum disease, tooth decay, root cavities and tooth loss. Certain medications, changes in dexterity, and health conditions can also make keeping up with oral hygiene more challenging. The good news 🤔? Many oral health concerns can be prevented or managed with the right care. Regular dental visits, daily brushing 🪥and cleaning between teeth, and keeping your dental team informed about changes in your health and medications all make a difference. And remember, oral health is part of overall health at every age. A healthy 🌱 mouth helps support comfortable eating, speaking and smiling, and can contribute to better overall well-being.
