Introduction
Aging is a natural part of life, and just like your skin and hair, your teeth and gums also change over time. While good oral care can keep your smile healthy for decades, age-related changes in your mouth are inevitable.
At Dr. Gogia’s Super Specialty Dental Care Centre, we see many patients who are surprised by how aging affects their oral health — and the good news is that with the right care, most age-related dental problems can be prevented or managed.

Common Effects of Aging on Your Teeth
1. Tooth Enamel Wear
Years of chewing, grinding, and exposure to acidic foods wear down the enamel.
This can cause sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
2. Gum Recession
Gums naturally recede over time, exposing more of the tooth root.
Increases risk of sensitivity and root decay.
3. Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)
Medications for blood pressure, diabetes, or depression can reduce saliva production.
Saliva protects teeth from decay, so dryness increases cavity risk.
4. Tooth Discoloration
Enamel thins, revealing yellow dentin underneath.
Years of coffee, tea, or tobacco use add staining.
5. Higher Risk of Gum Disease
Plaque buildup over the years can cause gum inflammation and bone loss.
6. Tooth Loss
Untreated gum disease and decay can lead to tooth loss in seniors.

How Aging Affects Dental Treatments
Fillings may wear out and need replacement.
Bridges and dentures may loosen due to jawbone changes.
Implants remain a strong solution for missing teeth if bone health is maintained.

How to Protect Your Teeth as You Age
1. Brush Twice Daily– Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush.
2. Floss Daily – Removes plaque where brushes can’t reach.
3. Stay Hydrated – Prevents dry mouth and supports saliva flow.
4. Regular Dental Check-Ups – Catch problems early before they worsen.
5. Eat a Tooth-Friendly Diet – Calcium-rich foods strengthen teeth and bones.
6. Avoid Tobacco– Reduces risk of gum disease and oral cancer.
