It's the cold, hard tooth: 1 in 5 people over 65 has untreated tooth decay.1 The good news? Cavities and gum disease are nearly 100% preventable. Taking care of your oral health and visiting a dentist regularly can help you avoid serious and expensive health problems. Tooth Fairy’s Tale: When a young child loses a tooth, it is a tremendously exciting event—visible proof of growing up! Children show off the gaping hole with pride, bringing home newly missing teeth to their families and placing them in their Tooth Pillow for the magical.
