Hi. Little changes do occur in the mouth with age. No need to worry about that. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Rinse your mouth properly after eating anything. Brush twice daily especially at night time before going to bed. Visit a dentist every 6-12 months for a scaling/ Cleaning of your tooth. Do not floss much. Gaps might have occurred due to gum recession. Do warm saline rinses this will make your gums strong and healthy.
