With the range of cosmetic dentistry techniques available nowadays, one specialist has claimed there is no excuse for a bad smile.
Writing for the Seaway News, Dr Sholina Kherani described how people have a variety of options for improving their teeth as they age.
Problems such as exposed roots and missing teeth can be corrected by seeking treatment from a professional, who can offer procedures such as gum grafting and dental implants, she explained.
Instead of wearing dentures, the neuromuscular dentist advised individuals to consider having implants fitted for a natural appearance and to ensure they can chew properly.
Making regular visits to a dental expert was also recommended and the expert suggested using fluoride products to help prevent tooth decay and protect weakened teeth.
Dr Stuart Rich recently warned in the Auburn Reporter that people who fail to have regular check-ups are more likely to require emergency dentistry for problems that could have been noticed sooner.
