As you age, protecting your health becomes vitally important for living a longer, more comfortable life. This often means making lifestyle changes that will better support your longevity, such as quitting smoking, exercising more, or even adding a multi-vitamin to your diet. But now, a recent study has found that protecting your oral health<\/a> may be beneficial to your brain. Here\u2019s why making this one crucial modification could help prevent dementia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Alzheimer’s Disease & Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to a study published in a recent issue of Neurology, researchers have found a link between Alzheimer’s disease and gum disease. It seems that patients who had mild gum disease and fewer teeth had a faster rate of brain shrinkage in their left hippocampus, and those with severe gum disease and more teeth did as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon further study, they also discovered that missing teeth as well as having more teeth that were not in good condition also caused faster brain shrinkage. In fact, the more teeth that were missing or damaged, the faster the patients\u2019 brains aged!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what does this mean for those who are missing teeth or have damaged or decayed teeth? According to the study, replacing teeth that are lost or not fixable could be the key to both restoring oral health and protecting brain health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing Lost Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are natural looking, permanent restorations for missing permanent teeth. They look and feel just like \u201creal\u201d teeth, and because they are secured to your jaw, they not only provide greater biteforce than dentures, but they also help to better protect your jawbone from deterioration and your brain from shrinkage-related aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re missing one or more teeth, or if you have damaged or decayed teeth that cannot be restored, speak to your dentist about the benefits of dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
