Cavities Aren’t Just For Kids

Wellness Wednesday

Older patients often tell us, “I shouldn’t get cavities at my age!” but the truth is that cavities can occur at any age. In fact, they can increase as you become less agile, alter your medications, face a physical disability, or are less compliant in general with brushing, flossing, and visiting your dental hygienist or dentist regularly.

So, no matter your age, make sure to maintain home hygiene and schedule routine visits to avoid unwanted cavities.
