Beautiful bright healthy teeth have
long been associated with signs of youth. Many characteristics of our teeth and
smiles can reveal the signs of aging. The colour, shape, and length of our
teeth change over the years due to normal wear and tear. “Gravity”, and natural
facial changes make our lower faces shrink and sink in, resulting in less of
our upper teeth showing as we speak and smile. Loss of collagen and diminished
muscle tone allow wrinkles to form around our mouth and lips.
During the last generations, lost teeth were considered an
inevitable consequence of aging. Now we know how to better care for our smiles
as they age. With modern advances, you can have a comfortable, healthy smile
for life!
Must-Do, Ages 60+
For the most part, losing your teeth during your golden years
has little to do with getting old and almost everything to do with gum disease
or decays. It’s common as we age because our immune systems can’t fight off
inflammation as easily. Regular check-ups and cleanings greatly help protect
you from this problem.
Many medications precipitate dry mouth, a side effect which
can hurt your oral health. Keep us up to date on your medications and any
medical issues you’re having. Here are few tips that you should take into
consideration;
Should-Do, Age 60+
Today’s dental implants look, feel,
and function like natural teeth! If you’re missing one or more teeth,
cutting-edge tooth implants may be the solution. If limited mobility is impairing
your home care routine, ask us about special tools that can help.
We might
recommend an electric toothbrush, or even little tweaks to your usual
tools—like extending your toothbrush, or attaching a little ball to the bottom
to make it easier to grip. Boost your self-confidence! A
recent study indicates that nearly 90% of dental implant patients who
previously wore dentures say confidence is up, and the procedure was worth
repeating.
Could-Do, Ages 60+
When it comes to cosmetic and
restorative dentistry, it isn't complicated and there’s very little discomfort. More and more individuals are keeping their teeth and improving their smiles
with cosmetic dentistry options such as porcelain veneers and teeth whitening.
You can too.
