Dental Care for Seniors
Maintaining dental health is important when it comes to any ages. Seniors are especially vulnerable to oral health problems as their ages advance. With our specialized dental care, seniors can enjoy their elderly years with good oral hygiene and enjoy a healthy smile.
Common Dental Health Problems
Advancing ages put seniors into many dental health problems, including:
- Darkening teeth
- Dry mouth
- Loss of taste
- Root decay
- Gum disease
- Loss of a tooth or teeth
- Uneven jawbones
- Stomatitis caused by dentures
- Thrush
Understanding and reducing risks of dental health problems is important for senoirs. As seniors are getting older, medical conditions like arthritis can make brushing teeth or flossing teeth difficult and medications taken by seniors also affect their oral health.
