Aging and Dental Health
Aging does not mean you have to lose your teeth: Many people still thing that tooth loss is a natural part of aging. By having proper oral hygiene/dental habits and be seeing a dentist regular you can maintain your teeth for a lifetime. However it when a person dose not have good oral hygiene/dental habits and do not see a dentist regular that a person can develop periodontal/gum disease which can lead to tooth loss. Perodontal disease is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults 35 and over.
