Seniors… Do they need to care for their oral health differently?

“Seniors… Do they need to care for their oral health differently?”

As we get older, Our bodies change… and our mouths change too. Many seniors start to experience issues such as:

• Worn-down teeth
• Loose teeth
• Receding gums
• Dry mouth

All of these directly affect eating, speaking, and everyday quality of life.

Oral care at this stage of life therefore requires "extra attention" compared to before. Key habits include:

• Brushing thoroughly and flossing daily.
• Choosing the right kinds of food.
• Getting regular dental checkups. ✨
