As we get older, we are more ‘susceptible to the buildup of plaque and the weakening and cracking of older fillings. In addition, there is a tendency for our teeth to become brittle, and many seniors suffer from diminished muscular ntrol, which can make chewing or wearing dentures more difficult. Finally, the older we get, the more vigilant we need to be against developing gum disease. It is extremely important to remember that for generally healthy, functionally independent seniors, these potential changes need not present a serious risk. The habits that kept our mouths healthy when we were younger will help to keep them healthy as we age. By practicing vigilant oral hygiene at home, including thorough brushing and flossing twice a day, and by visiting a dentist regularly for a comprehensive oral examination and diagnosis, professional cleanings and to keep fillings in good repair, seniors can prevent, and in some cases reverse, potentially serious oral disease.
