Some problems can be treated:
Some of these diseases cannot be cured because they are part of old age. But for some, effective remedies are available. Such as implantation of dentures in case of loss of teeth, operation on fracture of hip bone, machine for hearing, eye glasses and cataract operation. By having dentures, not only can a person eat properly, but it also reduces the feeling of old age and also makes hearing easier. It also keeps the face looking good. In this way it helps a lot in old age. Dentures last for at least 10 to 20 years once inserted. Fake teeth i.e. dentures are installed in government hospitals.

Sometimes the broken bones are not able to join properly even by the traditional bone builders and specialists. In such a situation, there is constant pain in them. Therefore, efforts should be made that the bones should not be broken. Delay in diagnosis of certain diseases can be a big problem. Such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, chronic ear infection, tuberculosis etc.

Then aside this, we need to be doing some regular medical check up. It takes all these to overcome the problem of old age.
