Dentistry for Seniors

Senior Dental Care is Different

Just as our bodies transition as we advance in age, our teeth and gums do also. Decades of plaque buildup, as well as drinking coffee, tea, or using tobacco, can make teeth become dark. Ask us about procedures that can treat these issues. Reduced saliva flow is sometimes a side effect of certain medications. There are products that can ease this condition. Your fillings are aging, too, which can lead to weakening or cracking. Regular check-ups will allow us to stay on top of your existing fillings. Gum disease and root decay can be prevalent in seniors. Daily cleaning and good nutrition are vital for healthy gums. If your gums become red, begin to bleed, or your teeth start to feel loose, contact us immediately.
