Are seniors more at risk for dental issues?

Senior adults are most at risk for dental issues due to several factors, including high rates of enamel wear and tear over time, medical conditions that can contribute to dry mouth and other oral health issues, and an increased risk of gum disease and recession. That being said, maintaining good oral health by brushing and flossing twice daily and visiting your dentist two times a year for a comprehensive cleaning and exam can help prevent dental issues and keep your smile beautiful and healthy for years to come.
