As you get Older your Dental Needs will Change

Curtis Couch D.D.S in Thousand Oaks is dedicated to providing dental care to the aging population

As-you-get-Older-your-Dental-Needs-will-Change America’s aging population will incur a change in dental requirements. As we get older our teeth change a lot as our body starts to degenerate and age. The dental aging process will result in a change in the type of procedure that you will require, as you will most likely change from cosmetic treatments to dental surgery treatments and extractions which are required with age. Curtis Couch D.D.S in Thousand Oaks offers all-encompassing dental service to all patients, which means we offer a range of cosmetic treatments, restorative treatments and preventative treatments for every aspect of your life.

Teeth go through a lot during one life-span

Your teeth endure a lot during a lifetime and because of this it gets increasingly important for older people to visit the dentist. Over a lifetime our teeth get battered around by food, items we hold with our mouths such as keys and wrappers (even though we shouldn’t) and dental conditions like grinding or bruxism. Given the extent of obstacles our teeth go through they are extremely resilient when it comes to damage, however constant abuse of sugar, coffee and cigarettes can result in our teeth becoming damaged. In order to prevent damage from our beloved vices it’s important to have a strict dental hygiene from a young age as part of your preventative dentistry plan.

Preventative dentistry is the key to healthy teeth during your old age

Having healthy teeth when you’re old is not as easy as ‘good genetics’. You must care for your adult teeth from their early development to ensure on-going dental health. A high quality dental hygiene regime will include:
  • Brushing your teeth before bed and in the morning
  • Flossing at night before sleep
  • Visiting Curtis Couch D.D.S twice per year for a dental check-up or as recommended
  • Utilising mouthwashes which can be recommended by your dentist
If you fulfil all of these requirements from your teen years then it is much more likely that you will maintain your natural teeth throughout your entire life. However, if you do require an extraction later in life due to decay it won’t be the end of the world as modern technology has enabled us to use permanent dental implants as a solution to missing teeth.

An aging population will cause chronic pain to overshadow acute dental issues

An aging population will result in chronic pain becoming much more common than other dental issues such as dental accidents. Chronic dental pain occurs due to tooth decay and cavities which are left untreated in the mouth, and if left to intensify in severity they will also result in extraction and the need for dental implants.

Dental implants are the permanent solution to missing teeth

Dental implants will be inserted into your mouth if you require a tooth extraction or if you lose an adult tooth. They will be secured using a small titanium implant which will act as the ‘root’ for the tooth. Once this has been secured your dentist at Curtis Couch D.D.S in Thousand Oaks will secure a dental crown to the top of your teeth to restore the appearance of your smile. If you are interested in finding out more about the restorative and preventative options we offer at Curtis Couch D.D.S in Thousand Oaks please do not hesitate to contact us.
