Generally, the elderly begin to lose their teeth between the ages of 60 and 80. Because everyone's oral care method and personal diet plan are different, the time when teeth begin to fall off is early or late. If you want to avoid tooth loss, try not to eat hard food in your diet and pay attention to oral hygiene.
Generally speaking, tooth loss occurs at the age of 60, but many people lose their teeth in their fifties, so we should still pay attention to the basic matters of life. Drinking tea and gargling after meals can not only greatly reduce bacteria in the mouth, but also cut off acidic substances produced by bacteria. In addition, tea juice is alkaline, which can neutralize acidic substances in food, maintain a weak alkaline environment in the mouth and help protect teeth. At the same time, tea contains more fluorine, which can directly improve the toughness and acid resistance of teeth and effectively prevent dental caries.
Some old people don't pay special attention to their teeth. They usually don't have the habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening, so it is easy to lose their teeth early. For the elderly, we must pay attention to protecting our teeth at ordinary times. We should form the good habit of brushing our teeth in the morning and evening, and rinse our mouths in time after meals. If you don't pay attention to protecting your teeth when you are young, your teeth will easily fall off when you are old, and it will be particularly difficult to eat and talk, which will lead to a decline in your quality of life. If the teeth of the elderly fall off, the gums will be exposed for a long time, so it is necessary to develop a good habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening to maintain oral hygiene.
Many old people began to lose their teeth. In this case, all our teeth will not fall off, and we usually need to fill them in time. Otherwise, even if the root of the tooth is damaged, we can't re-fill the tooth, which leads to our inability to chew better when eating, and will also affect the absorption of the gastrointestinal tract. Some people find it inconvenient to wear false teeth and will not like it. In fact, with the growth of age, when teeth begin to fall off, we can wear false teeth, so that we can have our own teeth and eat better.
If the teeth fall off in the mouth, the bacteria and microorganisms left in the mouth may stick where there are no teeth, and even lead to gum infection and inflammation. Therefore, if middle-aged and elderly people begin to lose their teeth, they must actively pay attention to oral hygiene and health, clean their mouths in time, and stay away from those unhealthy foods with strong taste. Tooth loss is a common phenomenon in middle-aged and elderly people, and it is also a manifestation of aging. Therefore, if this happens, we must pay attention to it.
