Stress can exacerbate this bad habit.<\/p>\n<h3>Dry mouth<\/h3>\n<p>Medication or certain medical conditions, often more frequent with age, can contribute to a decrease in saliva production, which is essential to neutralize the acids produced by bacteria. As a result, dry mouth increases the risk of tooth decay and fracture.<\/p>\n<h2>Untreated dental problems<\/h2>\n<p>With age, the accumulation of problems such as untreated cavities as well as ageing or incorrectly adjusted fillings can weaken the dental structure, which can lead to breakage.<\/p>\n<h2>Corrective actions<\/h2>\n<p>To avoid dental fractures and help prevent your teeth from becoming brittle past age\u00a040, Centre Dentaire Dre\u00a0Nathalie\u00a0Kadoch recommends:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maintaining good oral hygiene;<\/li>\n<li>Eating a balanced diet;<\/li>\n<li>Wearing an occlusal plate; and<\/li>\n<li>Visiting your dentist regularly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By taking care of your teeth and adopting healthy lifestyle habits, you can significantly reduce the risk of dental fractures.
