Everyone dreams of keeping their smile until old age. But is it possible?

As it turns out, teeth can indeed remain healthy for a long time, but not all of them.

The main risks are chronic fatigue and constant stress.

As a result, bruxism begins to develop. We are talking about uncontrollable clenching of teeth, grinding them in sleep. This leads to enamel wear. Almost all people after 40 years face this problem.

This statement was made by specialist Magomed Dakhkilgov, reports Lenta.ru .

Another factor is poor oral hygiene.

In addition, bad habits lead to dental problems. Here we are talking about drinking alcohol, smoking regular cigarettes and electronic ones.

As the doctor noted, chronic problems with the gastrointestinal tract and thyroid gland also have an impact.

Therefore, it is important to give up bad habits, regularly come for preventive examinations, treat your teeth on time, and also maintain hygiene and brush your teeth correctly.
