Dental Care for Seniors

Our Special Care for Seniors

Our teeth show the signs of age and wear and tear just like our bodies do. Years of caffeine consumption or tobacco use will stain teeth and reduce their luster. Plaque may go unnoticed until it reaches the point of decay or infected gums. Taking medication may reduce the important flow of saliva through the mouth. Fillings often loosen over time, making it easy for decay to begin under them.
With regular visits, we can address problems in the early stages. It is especially important to take care of gum disease or root decay, a common problem with seniors, before more serious issues develop. We always encourage seniors to continue with healthy food choices and proper daily cleaning. If you ever experience bleeding gums or loose teeth, please call us immediately.
