Here’s the first answer to “What happens to your body when you age?”
1. DENTAL
Common dental issues among aged individuals include:
+ yellowing teeth
+ dry mouth
+ root decay
+ uneven jaw bones
+ thrush
+ tooth loss
+ gum disease
Some also experience denture-induced stomatitis, which can be caused by fungus, poor dental hygiene, or ill-fitting dentures. Diminished sense of taste is also common.
Many dental problems can be prevented if daily mouth care is observed.
Regular dental check-ups are also helpful for early detection of dental
problems.
See your dentist at least once every year for regular checkup and removal of plaque buildup.
Not all oral changes are caused by aging. Some oral changes occur as side effects of medicines or other health problems.
