Americans are living longer than ever, and the segment of population >65 years old is expanding. Hence it's even more important to take preventive measures to maintain your oral health, and the best way begins at home. Daily brushing with a soft tooth brush and fluoridated toothpaste after meals, along with flossing one to two times a day, is a great and effective way to keep your teeth and gums healthy and free of plaque. If you have a denture, be sure to brush it every day as well so its free of plaque and food debris. Soaking the denture daily it in a denture cleanser is also a good way to keep your gums and adjacent teeth healthy.
Be sure to consult your dentist if you have any questions regarding preventive oral hygiene.
