Dental Myth 1 - 'Preventive Dentistry is only for children' |
It is a misconception that Preventive Dentistry is only for young individuals. Research has shown that the greatest damage to an older person’s lifestyle is the rapid and progressive loss of a significant number of teeth due to ‘Root Decay’.
Remember, children will grow a permanent set of teeth but the senior individual will not.
Adults, who have had good teeth all their lives, experience natural recession of their gums due to age and as there is no enamel covering root surfaces. Bacteria attack the exposed roots, causing rapid & destructive decay. This tooth loss is easily preventable.
Fact: Preventive Dentistry is important for people of ages.
