A Smile As Youthful As Your Face
Fortunately, there are cosmetic procedures available that can help
Interestingly, the American Dental Association notes that teeth were "designed" to last only about 30 years, which means they may need a little help in keeping up appearances. Aside from the usual problems of decay and discoloration, older adults face other potential problems that can undercut the youthfulness of their smiles. For instance, the incisors (or canines) wear down as the years pass, leaving less enamel exposed below the upper lip when a person smiles. Moreover, teeth drift toward the center of the mouth as the bone and tissues that hold them in place weaken with age. As a result, teeth can appear crowded and unevenly distributed. Fortunately, there are cosmetic procedures available that can help restore a smile’s youthfulness.
