Senior Dental Health Care, Seeing your dentist Regularly.

Did you know that as a senior you need to see the dentist some times more then just twice a year for your oral health check ups? Cavities can be more frequent in seniors for many reason. Although fluoride is in community water supplies today that was not always the case for some of the older seniors. Adults are also more likely to have tooth decay around older fillings if not regularly checked by a dentist.

Cavities in the tooth root are more common in seniors due to receding gums lines. Receding gums exposes more of the tooth root surface to decay. Seniors also can have dry mouth due to either age or different medications they may have to take. Dry mouth can lead to a higher risk of tooth decay because without an adequate amount of saliva the acids produced by plaque can not be neutralized

Buying dental insurance  can control your cost for dental services.  If there are other health issues keeping you way from a dentist that can be difficult to address. But many time it is these same health issues that make it even more important to see a dentist regularly.  Bad teeth issues can cause over all health problems.

The different sugars in formula milk will not be safe for a child’s teeth during a nap or before bed time.

Cow’s milk is completely different. Cow’s milk is actually protective of teeth and can be classified as safe. Some research shows that if you consume cow’s milk in combination with products that would otherwise damage teeth (cookies perhaps ) the milk will help to protect teeth.
