Baby Boomers Need to Secure their Oral Health

We live in a society where we no longer need to fear growing old — we now have the resources to battle wrinkles, weight gain and health problems associated with aging. Thanks to current medical advancements, we’re living longer, healthier lives — and that includes our dental health. But there is one drawback to our good fortune — keeping our teeth longer puts us at risk for tooth root decay, a disease that affects many people over the age of 50.

Baby Boomers Dental Health Issues

While cavities may be considered kids’ stuff, anyone with natural teeth can get tooth decay. To top that off, receding gums are a fact of life for many middle-aged people and seniors as gums experience normal wear and tear over time.

Hard or recurrent tooth brushing can also destroy the soft tissues of your gums. But the main culprit of receding gums is gum disease which affects three quarters of adults. No matter how your gums recede, once they do, you’re a target for root decay.
