dental health problems as we age
As we age, our risk of developing various dental health conditions increases. Fortunately, many of these issues are preventable and treatable, making regular dental checkups crucial.
Here are some of the oral health problems that commonly affect seniors:
-
Gum disease: This is an infection of the soft tissue surrounding the teeth, Gum disease is usually caused by a build-up of plaque on teeth and along the gum line. Plaque is a sticky coating containing bacteria. Periodontitis can lead to tooth loss. It's a risk factor for heart and lung diseases.
-
Dry mouth: Certain illnesses, medications, and treatments can cause dry mouth, increasing the risk of tooth decay.
-
Oral cancers and other serious conditions: Seniors are more susceptible to these.
-
Root decay: As gums recede with age, exposed tooth roots become more vulnerable to decay.
-
Tooth sensitivity: Thinning enamel and receding gums can lead to increased tooth sensitivity.
-
Denture-induced stomatitis: a localized infection in the mouth caused by yeast or fungus
-
oral Thrush
