Healthy Ageless Smile

Aging is a concern even I ponder periodically,  Yes even doctors are concerned about what can be done to stay healthy and active.   Teeth and the ability to eat and maintain a nutritious diet is essential to ones overall health. 

    Proper oral care can keep you smiling well into retirement.  Brushing at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, soft bristle brush and daily flossing is essential to keeping teeth and gums resistant to aging. A poor bite can cause your teeth to not only look older but can lessen your ability to attain a nutritious diet.

     Oral cancer occurs most often in people over 40 years old.  If you notice any red or white  patches on your gums or tongue that do not heal with two weeks ask a dentist to check the spot. 

     Dry mouth (Xerostomia) can occur due to medications, disease, cancer treatment and age.  Dry mouth can lead to complications in the mouth such as gum disease, decay and bad breath.

     My favorite age reversal dental procedure is teeth whitening.  A bright smile alone can take years off a person’s appearance.

    We are all striving to maintain our health and youthful appearance, by treating your teeth with the same care a personcan maintain a healthy ageless smile.
