As we entered the new millennium, it was discovered that seniors were
getting more dental cavities than children. Today, children and seniors
are still the two highest at-risk groups for tooth decay. Aging puts us
at greater risk for dental problems. The wearing away of tooth enamel,
receding gums and loss of jawbone are signs that our mouths are aging
along with our bodies.
Fortunately, there are now dental technologies and treatments to keep
our smiles intact longer. That's great news for seniors. |
