Dental Care for Seniors

Senior Dental Care is Different

Our teeth are as susceptible to the aging process as the rest of our bodies. Gum disease and root decay are more prevalent in seniors. Daily cleaning and good nutrition are vital for maintaining healthy gums. In fact, if your gums have become red, irritated, or prone to bleeding, or if your teeth have started to feel loose, please contact us immediately. 

In addition, aging typically means more medications. Reduced flow of saliva is sometimes a side effect of these medications. There are simple products that can help this condition. Even your fillings can show signs of age. They can weaken or crack. Regular check-ups will allow us to stay on top of your existing fillings. Don't forget that years of plaque buildup, as well as consuming coffee, tea, or tobacco, can make teeth appear dark. Ask us about procedures that can combat all these problems.
