The Dental health & Dental Hygiene Personal Guide
As a person ages, the mouth becomes less able to tolerate stress. With an increase in chronic disease and medication usage, the prevalence of root caries, tooth loss, oral cancers, soft-tissue lesions, and periodontal problems increases significantly with age. Yet many dental health problems in older adults can be avoided with routine preventive care by using evidence-based oral care protocols.
If you didn't already have enough reasons to take good care of your mouth, teeth and gums, the relationship between your dental health, your dental hygiene and your overall health provides even more. Resolve to practice good dental hygiene every day. You're making an investment in your overall health, not just for now, but for the future, too.
This is a list to our guides about dental health. Here you can find everything about oral health, from toothache to the Wisdom Teeth.
