The elderly have a unique relationship with dentists. As we age, our teeth become less elastic and more prone to breakage or decay from poor dental hygiene practices such as leaving brushes bristles up in your mouth after brushing so that plaque builds on them overnight – then when you wake up the next morning there’s an easy target for those little rocks! This is why it becomes important not only make appointments but also floss every night before bed because if left unattended will lead us down to different types of oral problems.
