When we post articles, we use categories (listed at right) to broadly organize them by type. We also "tag" them to help organize them by subject.
This is a list of articles that we've tagged as "Seniors."
According to a recent study, people who regularly take care of their teeth have a lower risk of developing dementia.
The study followed close to 5,500 people over 18 years. Researchers found that the women who brushed their teeth less that once a day were 65% more likely to develop dementia compared to those who brushed daily. The men who brushed their teeth less that once a day were 22% more likely to develop dementia.
While cavities are most commonly associated with children, they are actually more common in seniors (ages 65 and older). There are several reasons why seniors are more at risk—below are just a few. We recommend that you see your dentist regularly to make sure you are not at risk for developing any further cavities.
Although many people do experience tooth loss as they age, it is not a requirement. In certain circumstances, you can avoid tooth loss by taking proper care of your oral health. If you do experience tooth loss, dentures are a common treatment option for missing teeth. 123Dentist.com provides two types of denture treatment options for you: partial or full dentures. Partial dentures replace your teeth if you have a few missing teeth in between your natural teeth. Full dentures, also called “fake teeth”, replace your teeth if you have a whole set of missing teeth.
