513-779-7711 Did you know, your age can determine your oral health? Well, it’s true! No matter how old you are, you can be subjected to tooth decay and other oral health problems. That is why, our professional team here at Merrill Dental in West Chester, Ohio, is happy to talk to you about how your age can affect your oral health.
As we age, without proper care and hygiene, the tooth enamel can become weaker. As we age in our life, other things also become factors to weaken tooth enamel such as health medications or accidents. With all these factors in mind, it’s vital to remember to brush twice a day, for two minutes a day, every single day while flossing each night. If you use a fluoride toothpaste, the fluoride can help keep your enamel strong, and prevent cavities or gum disease from lurking in your smile.
It is also central to remember to visit your dentist, Dr. Daniel Merrill for your checkups semi-annually. This is required because your dentist can discover if any threats like cavities or gum disease are appearing that needs to be addressed. If these conditions go disregarded, you could suffer from tooth loss, painful gums, and even bone loss. That is why visiting your dentist is the best thing you can do to keep your smile healthy and free.
