Take care of your oral health as you grow older

Take care of your oral health as you grow older

Throughout our lives, keeping our oral health cared for and in perfect condition could become a challenge. Especially because with adulthood, dental wear increases and could lead to a series of associated conditions. That is why it is essential to rely on a dental clinic that always offers the best solutions adapted to each patient, such as Clínica Dental Moreno-Montalvo.

What are the most common oral health conditions?

Gum disease: this usually occurs when there is continuous inflammation of the gums. This can lead to bleeding, infection or loss of teeth.

Dental crowding: over the years, teeth become displaced. Sometimes, dental crowding can even occur, resulting in a lack of interdental space and a greater accumulation of bacteria.

Dry mouth: saliva production tends to reduce in maturity, making it more difficult to combat the bacteria generated. Thus, given that saliva is essential to prevent demineralisation of the enamel, dental protection is reduced.

Dental caries: with age, the possibility of suffering caries increases due to factors such as the above. To prevent them from appearing, the most important thing is to maintain strict dental hygiene and visit the dentist's office more regularly.

Oral cancer: it usually appears from the age of 40 onwards, in any part of the oral cavity. Prevention is the key to early detection. Oral self-examinations are usually a perfect idea, it only takes ten minutes, we recommend it!
