How to keep your teeth healthy after 50 years — dentist advice

After 50 years, age-related changes and bone loss are some of the main reasons why people lose teeth. The patient's life history is most influenced by the patient's life history — the number of fillings, the level of medicine in the past years (when dental care was provided), lifestyle, eating habits, etc.

About what to do to keep your teeth healthy, said Konstantin Koveshnikov, doctor and head of the dental center”Symmetrica”, an expert in the field of one-stage and two-stage implantology, oral surgery and orthopedics.

Come for a review

It is much easier to prevent the disease than to treat it. It is worth choosing for yourself a good doctor who will know your medical history and, if necessary, will be able to choose the right treatment.

How often to come for inspection?

It is worth going to the dental clinic at least once every six months, even if nothing hurts. Many diseases can be asymptomatic for the patient, but a competent specialist, having good equipment, will be able to detect them.

Where to start?

It is necessary to find out the health of the teeth, jaws and gums. Make a diagnosis and undergo an examination in the clinic, in order to answer the question: what is the condition today? What needs to be done? What will happen if you do not do it? If so, what is paramount? What are the treatment options to feel and look much better?

Choose your team of specialists

Modern medicine is now at a very high level, so one specialist cannot be a professional in all areas. It is best when you are engaged by a team of specialists - periodontist, orthodontist, surgeon, etc.

In the conditions of modern life, a person is very busy. It's good when the clinic itself reminds of the next visit. In our clinic, administrators do this, remembering what manipulations need to be done to the patient and when.

Do not be afraid of implantation

Dental health is directly related to the health of the body in general. It affects the gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal and muscular systems, etc. Loss of teeth can become not only a cosmetic problem, but also cause real discomfort.

Of course, if a person loses teeth, there are four options for following:leave everything as is;

• install a removable structure;
• take healthy teeth into resistance;
• install implants.

The best and most durable way out is implantation. This will quickly and for a long time allow you to regain the opportunity to smile confidently and eat solid food without any discomfort.
