Children are typically more prone to cavities because their tooth enamel is just developing and has not reached its potential protective quality. The older adult population, however, is also at higher risk for tooth decay. The wear and tear on the dental work that they have had done in the past can deteriorate making those teeth more vulnerable to invasion of decay causing bacteria.
No age group is immune to tooth decay; good daily home care and regular professional monitoring will continue to reduce the risk. Visit our Elite Smiles of Louisville website, https://www.elitesmileslou.com to learn about our family dental services.
