People may find they require emergency dentist work as they age, as a result of enamel loss.
Women’s health expert Donnica L Moore explained teeth are an area of the body that are often overlooked until they cause a problem.
Eating and drinking certain foods and drinks – such as fruit juice – can lead to the tooth’s surface weakening and eroding away, she added.
If left untreated, a visit to the emergency dentist may be required and individuals may want to act sooner rather than later to protect their smile.
"Our bodies’ health – particularly as we age – requires that we take precautionary measures to strengthen ourselves," asserted Ms Moore.
Individuals of a certain age who require dentures might like to consider teeth implants as an alternative.
This is because two dentists – Scott LeSueur and Charles Dodaro – discussed last week how they believed the procedure to be a better option.
Dentures, they noted, had a number of drawbacks – such as having to be regularly cleaned and moving around in the mouth.
