How To Maintain A Beautiful Smile With Old Age

Written By Maggie Holmes / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

As we age, our mouths are subjected to many more diseases, disorders, and conditions than when we are younger. The risk of developing gum disease increases with age, as does the likelihood of having an oral infection.

Additionally, our general ability to fight off germs within our mouths diminishes as we get older. The truth is that oral health has a direct impact on your overall state of health. In fact, the American Dental Association reports that gum disease is linked to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

In addition to this, tooth loss can lead to issues with your jawbone and the rest of your body as it begins to shrink, leading to a host of serious medical complications.

Many of the dental conditions that affect adults over age 65 are preventable. That’s why it’s so important to take steps now to ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy, and you avoid costly and invasive procedures down the road.

Be Careful of the Foods You Eat

As you get older, it becomes increasingly important to track what you consume. Even if you have a healthy diet now, your diet may not be that healthy in the future. It is important that you avoid foods that can cause problems with your smile.

For example, many people enjoy drinking red wine daily. While this beverage has many health benefits, it does contain acids that can harm tooth enamel. If you want to drink red wine and maintain a beautiful smile, make sure you drink it with meals and follow up with a glass of water.

For the same reason, avoid citrus fruits like lemons and oranges unless they are combined with other food. Citrus fruits contain enormous amounts of acid and can easily damage your teeth over time. Other foods that can damage your teeth include sugary treats and candies, especially if they contain large amounts of sugar and not much else.

The most important thing to remember is to eat a balanced diet and avoid harming your teeth or gums in any way possible. This will help maintain your smile looking young and beautiful for years to come!

Brush your teeth

If you don't want bad breath, gum disease and yellowing teeth, then you need to start brushing twice daily. You are cleaning off the germs that are causing your teeth to turn yellow.

Over time, the yellowing of the teeth will go away as more of the germs is cleaned off. You can also use mouthwash which has an antiseptic that kills off the germs that cause tooth decay and help prevent odor.

See a dentist

If you want to maintain a beautiful smile and healthy teeth, then you need to see a dentist regularly for routine checkups and cleanings. They will be able to take care of any problems before they get out of hand.

It is much easier for them to fix problems before they become big issues such as cavities and broken teeth than it is for them to fix these things after they have already become problems.

When you have dental problems or various oral diseases, the best solution is to wear dentures. You will have a great smile, and you will be able to chew without worries!

Use whitening strips

Whitening strips work by using peroxide gel that is delivered into your mouth by way of a thin strip that is placed over your teeth for a certain amount of time each day. This gel helps take stains off your teeth and make them whiter looking again. This can be a great way to freshen up your smile!

Use supplements that strengthen teeth

There are many various kinds of supplements that you can take to strengthen your teeth or gums. Vitamin C is a popular supplement amongst many people who want to have a beautiful smile because vitamin C strengthens the gums and helps them stay healthy for a longer period.

Another popular supplement is vitamin K2 MK7, which works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.

Stop smoking today

The combination of aging and smoking can be particularly harmful to your teeth. If you smoke, quit now!

Smoking also affects the oral tissues directly. The lining of your mouth is thinner in smokers than nonsmokers, making smokers more likely to develop sores and infections. The resulting damage can initiate tooth loss.

Older people who smoke are also at higher risk for gum disease than nonsmokers. The nicotine in cigarette smoke has a negative effect on the immune system, which makes it harder for the body to fight off infections.

Some studies have shown that smoking can accelerate damage to your gums and oral tissues by up to 50 percent. That’s partly because smoking reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, so even if you don’t smoke much, the effect is cumulative over time. We believe that these tips will help you keep a bright smile, regardless of age!
