Our teeth, like the rest of our bodies, change as we age. Some of the most common dental issues faced by older adults are:
* Cavities caused by dry mouth as a side effect from medications.
* Periodontal (gum) disease caused by genetics, poor hygiene, tobacco use, medical conditions such as diabetes or some medications.
* Oral cancer caused by genetics, tobacco use, excessive alcohol use, excessive sun exposure or human papillomavirus (HPV).
