As we get older, the overall health of our teeth starts to decline. Even if you have brushed and flossed twice a day for the last 30 years, your teeth may inevitably decay – it’s simply a fact of old age. Because of this decay, you might have to have a tooth completely extracted because it is unfixable or one may just fall out one day. Now you will be left with a hole in your gum line that might make you embarrassed to open your mouth when you speak or to smile like you normally would. Just because you are elderly doesn’t mean that you stop caring about your appearance.
