As you age, it is not uncommon to see gum recession and experience dry mouth. Both make you at higher risk for cavities and gum disease as less saliva is present to wash away bacteria. To save your teeth and maintain good oral care:
- Continue to see your dentist twice a year
- If approved by your dentist, chew sugar-free gum after meals when you aren’t able to brush
- Be sure any dentures, implants, crowns or bridges are in good condition and speak to your dentist if you have any concerns
- Look at affordable dental plans that will support your good dental health habits
