How to Care for Your Teeth as You Age

As we age, things start to change, and the same goes for our teeth! Here are some things to know when thinking about caring for your teeth!

Loss of Gums

Loss of gums is pretty normal over time, but it is also super important to keep up with routine checkups to ensure your gums are still healthy.

Whitening

Teeth tend to stain as we age, so we often find ourselves providing whitening services to our again patients.

Fillings

Fillings age as we age and can need to be replaced every so often. The average lifespan of fillings is about 7-9 years.
