Dental Health Care, Aging does not mean you have to lose your teeth.
Many people still thing that tooth loss is a natural part of aging. However, by having proper oral hygiene/dental habits and by seeing a dentist regularly you can maintain your teeth for a lifetime. It is when a person does not have good oral hygiene/dental habits and does 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.
