Did you know that May is Older Americans Month? If not, then you also weren’t aware that this year’s theme is “Engage at Every Age.” From our perspective, this means a lot in reference to your smile care. We often hear from patients that they are worried they are too old for particular treatments, that their age is going to impact their oral health in some way, etc. Let’s take this moment to remind everyone that when it comes to a healthy smile, age is just a number in most instances and not much else!
You’re Not Too Old For Cosmetic Care
No, you aren’t someone who is the wrong age for cosmetic care unless you’re very young! If you’re worried about being too old, this is not a factor. Cosmetic treatments are something that we can offer to individuals whose grins are in good oral health. That’s really all there is to qualifying!
You’re Not Too Old For Prevention
Everyone is the right age for preventive smile care! You need it from the time you are born and throughout the rest of your life, so keep it up!
You’re Not Too Old To Preserve Your Teeth
You may worry that as you age, you’re just going to naturally lose your teeth. This may even convince you that caring for your smile is not necessary! The truth is, you can preserve your smile at any age with good smile care. The number of years you have been alive has nothing to do with whether you retain your natural teeth. It’s all about brushing, flossing, cleanings, checkups, and that’s it! Avoid decay and other oral health problems to keep teeth right where they’re standing.
