Why do old people have bad teeth?
<|assistant|>
Old people can often have bad teeth due to wear and tear on their teeth, weakened enamel, and dental problems that go untreated over a long period of time. Some medications and diseases can also cause dental problems. Additionally, many older adults did not have access to regular dental care when they were younger, so they may be caught up in a cycle of poor oral health. Finally, some older adults may not visit the dentist because they have financial or mobility issues.
