Everyone knows the importance of ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE, but things become even more important for seniors and older adults. In fact, senior dental care is different from regular dental care, and something seniors desperately need to consider when they evaluate their DAILY ROUTINE.
Senior oral care is even more serious because the effects of poor dental health can be felt over time. In fact, lax oral care, the foods you eat, and the grinding of your teeth can leave you in rough condition as you grow older. Conversely, the right oral habits and ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE ROUTINE can leave you with STRONGER TEETH throughout your golden years. (1)
So the question is, what kind of oral care routine do seniors need to enjoy healthier teeth? Well, the answer is an ALL-NATURAL one. An ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE ROUTINE can not only ensure brighter smiles and healthier gums and teeth, but stronger and remineralized teeth ready to fend off time!
In this blog we talk about the changes seniors need to make to their oral care routine, and how you can enjoy STRONGER TEETH and HEALTHIER SMILES today!
The first thing to know is that time can take a toll on your teeth just because they're, well, teeth. Constant bites and consistent chews throughout your life can leave you with significant damage accumulated over time. These effects of simply using your teeth can cause you to lose some of your enamel – the layer that covers them.
Unfortunately, the eventual wear and tear of your teeth also causes them to flatten out – especially the areas you use most, the ones for chewing and biting. Similar problems can form around your gums as a result of plaque, bacteria that can not only cause you to bleed, but for you to feel sore and severe pain. (2)
The plaque that can wreak havoc on senior’s teeth many times leads to gingivitis, which can also cause some serious pain. You may also suffer from periodontal disease, which affects more people than you may think. In fact, most adults in general experience some degree of gum problems, with far-reaching consequences ranging from tooth loss to infection when not immediately addressed. (3)
There are also some changes to your body you simply can’t control as you age. These include the natural shifting of your teeth, as well as movement of your jaw as a result of a natural decrease of bone density. The result is an aligning of your teeth different from what you had previously enjoyed when you were younger. (5)
Unfortunately, severe misalignment can also be caused by poor oral habits and the resulting gum problems and dental issues that go along with it. Making matters even worse is that misalignment can lead to even more dental problems as you grow older, making it that much more important seniors practice GOOD ORAL HYGIENE right now. (5)
Another problem many seniors encounter is medications they’re on causing adverse effects on their teeth. Many of these medications, especially cholesterol, blood pressure, and anti-depressant medicines, can cause your mouth to get dry. Dryness in the mouth is actually linked to more gum problems and cavities. (6)
Now that we know that senior teeth can be at a greater risk of problems than some, let’s talk about what you can do about it. First, seniors need to continue to follow many of the oral care rules everyone else follows. This includes PROPER BRUSHING two times per day and flossing once per day. This can help fend off tooth decay and gum problems.
Another tip for seniors to achieve healthier teeth is ALL-NATURAL MOUTHWASH. Mouthwash can work wonders on breath and overall oral health, but there’s a catch. To ensure max benefits out of your oral care routine, you need to be sure your mouthwash is ALCOHOL-FREE. An ALL-NATURAL MOUTHWASH can also help seniors take some of the grunt work out of their sometimes long-winded routine. (7)
In terms of when to incorporate your oral care habits into your day, it’s recommended seniors BRUSH their teeth each day following breakfast and right before sleep. Having a good ORAL CARE ROUTINE that’s CONSISTENT can provide daily oral care with less likelihood of forgetting important parts of it during busy days and routines. (8)
As with many potential health problems and concerns, the best way past them is to prevent them from ever happening. It’s also important you take precautions to protect how you take care of your teeth. For example, it’s important seniors use a toothbrush with soft bristles, possibly even extra soft.
It’s also important seniors practice the correct way to brush their teeth. This includes tilting your toothbrush at a forty-five degree angle, then brushing up and down in short movements from the gums to the bottom of your teeth – focusing on one individual tooth at once. Also hold the toothbrush up and down for the insides of your teeth up front, then for your lower ones too. (10)
It’s also important your oral care products contain the RIGHT INGREDIENTS that can help you. By doing this, you’re avoiding dangerous chemicals in over-the-counter oral care products, and also giving yourself a much-needed ORAL BOOST if you have trouble with your eyes or holding your toothbrush.
