After 60, dental care is more important than ever. A healthy smile supports eating, speaking, and overall health. 

Daily Routines and Tips:

1.  Brush twice a day.

Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

2.  Floss daily.

This cleans where your toothbrush cannot reach.

3.  Rinse with water or alcohol-free mouthwash.
Keeps your mouth clean and fresh.

4.  See your dentist twice a year.
Checkups help prevent and treat problems early.

5.  Avoid common mistakes.
Don’t brush too hard, don’t skip flossing, and don’t ignore pain or bleeding gums.

With simple routines and regular checkups, seniors can enjoy strong teeth and a healthy smile.
