Dental care tips for older adults

Dental care for older adults is particularly special due to their higher tendency to have yellow teeth, dental cavities, teeth decay, among others.

So here we share some tips for seniors and people taking care of them to take into account to keep their healthy teeth and prevent dental problems:

- Use an electric toothbrush. These devices count with built-in timers that make sure you have spent at least 2 minutes brushing your teeth, and they also provide a through cleaning.

- Visit regularly your dentist to rule out any dental problem, and discuss with your dentist any inconvenience you have with your teeth.

- Get a dental cleaning 3 or 4 times a year.

- From time to time you can chew sugar-free gum (with an ingredient called xylitol) after meals to stimulate saliva and protect your teeth.

With 84% of adults rating a whiter smile as key to winning at life, sales of over the counter teeth whitening products have soared. Although over the counter (OTC) products such as whitening toothpastes, whitening strips, and brush-on bleaching solutions claim immediate results, they often produce marginal results and eventually end up requiring quite an investment. Today, online shoppers are discovering that the cosmetic dentistry labs being used by local dentists to produce lasting Teeth Whitening results are available directly to the public too. Custom Bright Professional Teeth Whitening offers the same custom-fitted Teeth Whitening Trays and the highest quality whitening gel as cosmetic dentists, lab direct, without ever needing to leave home.
