Your Smile Can Reveal Your Age
Many middle-aged and older people are self-conscious about smiling because of real or imagined flaws with their teeth. No matter how well we take care of our physical and dental health, it is inevitable that age will take its toll — and three of the biggest causes of dental issues are:
Acid Erosion – Too much sugar creates bacteria and acid which erode dental enamel. Replacing sugary snacks and drinks with sugar-free gum and fruit — combined with regular cleaning at the dentist — are the best ways to avoid bacterial build-up.
Bruxism – Also called teeth grinding, bruxism slowly wears down teeth leaving them brittle and weak. The condition needs to be treated by a dentist as soon as it appears to avoid long-term damage.
Poor Dental Care – Many older people tend to “cut back” on brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist. If anything, the opposite is the case — as more and better dental care can avoid many potential problems.
Ageing happens to everyone — but with good dental care you can minimise the appearance of wear and decay and maintain a more youthful appearance for longer.
It’s never too late to achieve a healthier, brighter and younger smile and give your self-confidence a boost. Read more at https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/smile-reveal-age/.
