What We Know About Ageing?
Did you know, scientist do not fully understand why we begin to age? They know at some point our cells stop renewing at the needed rate and this causes aging. The part they don’t know is why this debilitating process begins. Maybe we are missing a specific amino acid or something?
One thing we all know about getting old, it stinks! We begin feeling pain where there once was none, we don’t sleep as well, and our overall health is affected including our oral health. Even though it’s impossible to rewind time, we can maintain a high level of oral health as we age, especially if we have the help of Erbsville Dental. Dr. Mathews cares about his aging patients. He understands the challenges of aging, including the higher risk elderly people have of developing oral health conditions that come from simple wear and tear over time. Even medications commonly prescribed for the elderly can play a roll in causing dry mouth and tooth decay.
