What are some tips for maintaining oral health as a senior?

1. Practice good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Don't forget to floss daily.

2. Use a mouthwash: Rinse your mouth with an antimicrobial mouthwash to kill bacteria and freshen your breath.

3. Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps in saliva production, which prevents dry mouth and reduces the risk of tooth decay.

4. Avoid tobacco and limit alcohol consumption: Tobacco and excessive alcohol use can increase the risk of oral health problems.

5. Eat a healthy diet: Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit sugary and acidic foods and beverages that can harm your teeth.

6. Wear protective gear during physical activities: If you participate in sports or recreational activities, wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth from injuries.
