And it is that the care of the teeth is basic throughout life. Each stage has its peculiarities but in any case they always require basic and essential care to keep them healthy and prevent future problems. Still, sometimes disorders arise that need to be treated. And it is that if the teeth are healthy it is possible to maintain them for many years.

The importance of taking care of your teeth

It is important, at any age but especially when we get older, take care of our teeth. In addition to regular visits, these are some basic care that we should provide:

• Brush your teeth after meals, before going to bed since at night the salivary secretion decreases and the environment is more conducive to the formation of cavities. Cleaning should include flossing at least once a day.
• Eat a varied and balanced diet, in which we ensure an adequate supply of calcium (dairy products and derivatives), a mineral related to bone and dental health.
• Do not abuse foods rich in simple sugars because they are the ones that produce the most; of highly acidic foods and beverages because they increase tooth wear; or tea, coffee or red wine because they also cause stains on the teeth.
• Avoiding tobacco as it stains the teeth favors the development of cavities, by reducing the flow of saliva, and is the cause of gum disease.
