As we age, many people start skipping their regular trips to the dentist. Don’t!
As we grow, there is an increased risk of gum disease, decay, and tooth loss. With those, there may come a restriction on the types of food we can enjoy. In addition, poor dental health has been linked to heart disease, stroke, complications from diabetes, respiratory infections, worsening arthritis, and more.
Experts recommend keeping up with twice-a-year trips to the dentist as well as regular, daily brushing and flossing.
