# What are the Most Common Senior Dental Issues?

Your dental health needs change as you get older, and seniors are more likely to develop common dental problems like tooth decay and gum disease. These issues can make it difficult to eat comfortably or socialise without feeling self-conscious about your smile.

Good oral health care can help to manage or prevent these issues, allowing older people to enjoy teeth that function properly while also looking good. When you come to see best [dentist Bateau Bay](https://goo.gl/maps/roZ7rAo9r7rgUQYj9), we can create a personalised preventative dental plan to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

1. Decay of Teeth

Seeing our dentist on a regular basis allows us to check your teeth for small cavities and treat them as soon as possible. We can also advise you on how to improve or maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home.

2. Disease of the Gums

This is a very common disease that can cause tooth loss and may even have a negative impact on general health. We can examine your gums during your regular visits because early gum disease is completely reversible. Often, we can treat this condition by professionally cleaning your teeth and assisting you in improving your brushing and flossing routine.

3. Teeth that are missing

Because teeth are designed to work together, even the loss of one tooth can have an impact on your dental health. If you have missing or failing teeth, we can discuss the best way to replace them.
