What is best way to look younger
A Little Known Anti-Aging Tip To Keep Looking Young
Hi guys and gals out there. I'm Dr. Joe Nemeth
I'm a Periodontist in Southfield,
Michigan and I want to talk about maybe
a little-known fact that will help keep
you looking young as you get older. You
know, when you're young your skin is
tight its firm your cheekbones are high
your skin is plump like, Olivia get over
here. I want to show people what youth
looks like. So this is Olivia she works
in our office and this is what youth
looks like. I don't think I ever looked quite
this good, but this is this is youth and
we generally in our society we want to
maintain a youthful look as long as we
can. Now I'm actually a hundred and forty
two, but because I take good care of
myself I don't look more than 93 but at
any rate. One of the things that really
makes a difference is tooth loss and the
bone in your mouth. I'm sure we've known
older people who as they've gotten older
and have lost their teeth their lower
jaw starts to stick out a little bit, the
upper jaw starts to collapse a little
bit and it gives them that typical kind
of older look. Well you know in our
society again it's nice to look good
youthful look is kind of
important in our culture. So really one
of the tips in keeping good facial
structure is keeping your teeth. Adequate
calcium, vitamin D, good oral hygiene,
exercise actually chewing using your
jaw a fair amount and again good oral
hygiene as I've mentioned many times in
the past is critical. If you have teeth
and you have adequate bone, it's going to
help fill out your cheeks fill out your
jaws and give you a more youthful look.
Now as we get older if we start to lose
teeth when we lose
teeth that bone really just kind of
atrophies or disappears it goes away
because there's nothing to stimulate it
to keep it there that's what teeth do
they have a function they chew and they
need the bone to support them and so the
bone stays there but if you lose teeth
then that bone disappears, unless you put
implants in.
Now implants actually function like your
own teeth in many ways, they are like the
roots of your teeth. They're put into the
bone and crowns or teeth are put on top
of them and they function like your own
teeth. So they tend to maintain the bone
that would normally be lost so keeping
your teeth means keeping your mouth
healthy. Keep your teeth if you can, but
sometimes you can't and if you can't
then the best way to replace them,
virtually all the time, is dental implants
If you have any suggestions, we
would really like to get your feedback.
