How Seniors Can Protect Their Dental Health

How Seniors Can Protect Their Dental Health dentist melbourneAs we age there are some things that we tend to let slide. Dental health can be one of the good-health ensuring steps that we forget. This is not wise, however, since dental health is connected to whole-body health.

This is why it’s important that senior loved ones have someone to remind — or help — them keep their oral health a priority. Or if you are a senior, that you have regular visits to your Q1 Dental Melbourne dentist.

As we age, dental health is important to our overall quality of life. We want to be able to chew food properly and without pain. We want to taste what we’re chewing. We want to reduce the likelihood of other health issues. And we want to save money.

Benefits Of A Smile Makeover

Benefits Of A Smile Makeover melbourne dentist

At Q1 Dental we have two questions for you. How often do you avoid looking at your smile in the mirror? Are you happy with what you see when you do look? We’d argue that anytime you try to avoid your reflection is one time too many.

You should feel proud of your appearance – particularly your smile, which is a critical part of making a great first impression.

A bad smile can alienate you from the things you enjoy most in life: Friends, family, success at work, even success in love and happiness. It’s a tragic problem that unfolds each and every day for some people– but they are not alone.

Are you tired of hiding your smile when you meet someone for the first time? Wouldn’t it feel great to smile with confidence? Oftentimes, patients avoid repairing problems with their teeth because they are afraid that treatment will be costly and time-consuming.

Tooth bonding, however, can be a very cost effective and quick way to repair certain dental issues. Even better, tooth bonding treatments can usually be completed in one appointment at Q1 Dental.
