GOLDEN YEARS
story by Dr. Karen Crews
BRIGHT SMILES
in the Golden Years
Everyone can benefit from oral health care that is provided by a dental professional. However, as a person moves through the stages of life, there are some dental services that are more important than others.
For individuals who are entering their “golden years,” the primary focus of dental care are general services that preserve the strength and structure of the smile and prevent the development of serious dental complications. It is important to understand that even if you have practiced good oral hygiene habits your entire life, your teeth are subject to wear and, in some cases, weaken as they reach their senior years.
As you age, and depending on your diet and habits, teeth
can become more vulnerable to decay, erosion, and other oral health problems, which is why general dentistry services are so important. Most dental practices offer a range of services that help patients preserve the health, structure and strength of the teeth and gums. Aside from helping in the prevention of dental complications, general dentistry services are also vital to the early diagnosis and treatment of oral health problems,
which will allow individuals to treat
potential problems before they
become more serious.
Don’t let age stop you from seeking cosmetic dentistry services to enhance the health and look of your smile! Tooth whitening, orthodontics, porcelain veneers, and implant retained dentures are all services that can help you achieve a beautiful and youthful smile. Looking good is an important part of feeling good, and a beautiful smile will reflect just how good you feel!
