Your dental health, examined
Want to spend less time in that reclining chair? Open wide for this guide to healthy teeth and gums at every age. Your teeth and gums are healthy—especially if you’ve been heeding the well-known advice: Brush at least twice and floss once daily; see your dentist twice a year. Sensitivity: As you age, your gums naturally recede, which exposes the roots of the teeth; also, enamel starts to soften. Both can trigger that zingy feeling when you eat something cold. Proper brushing is key to avoiding receding gums, says Dr. Robert E. Roesch, a Fremont, Neb. –based spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry. Use a soft-bristled brush (manual or electric), and “hold it at a 45- to 60-degree angle toward your gums,” he says. Gently brush up and down, not side to side; the latter can be hard on gums.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
