Toothache
Believer it or not, but tooth pain can put a dampener on activities, even walking or running. Toothaches can be caused by a lack of dental hygiene, receding gums, sensitive teeth, or a mixture of several issues. Be sure to prioritize visiting the dentist as you get older for routine cleaning and examinations.
Years ago, tooth pain often mean having teeth pulled and dentures being put in. Back then, dentures were also less affordable and not as comfortable. Now, older adults can choose between maintaining their hygiene throughout the years with routine visits to the dentist or receiving dentures to relieve their tooth pain.
