Senior Dental Care

Addressing the Special Needs of Seniors

As we age, we begin to notice changes to our bodies and smiles. Our teeth are not as dazzling as they once were. Tobacco and caffeine consumption often darken our tooth color. Fillings may become loose and need to be replaced before decay sets in. Certain medications may result in reduced saliva and a dry mouth. We can keep on top of any of these problems with regular check-ups. Gum disease and root decay are frequent problems for seniors, and it is important to take care of these conditions in the earliest stages. We advise to continue or return to good nutrition and dental hygiene to help keep your gums in good condition.

Oral Hygiene Care

The Importance of Hygiene Visits
Have your teeth cleaned to stay healthy! When plaque and tartar build up on your teeth, it can no longer be removed by daily brushing. It is important to have your teeth cleaned by our professional hygienist to keep them free of cavities, your gums free from infection, and your breath fresh. All of these problems can be taken care of with regular cleanings to keep your smile looking its healthiest.

Medical research has also shown that if you develop gum disease, it can worsen or contribute to the development of life-threatening conditions like heart disease, stroke, or diabetes. Please take our recommendation seriously to stay healthy.
