Taking Care of Seniors' Dental Needs
Not only do our bodies show the signs of wear and tear and age, so do our teeth. Years of caffeine and tobacco consumption can stain enamel, plaque can build up and form tartar, and fillings often loosen and need replacement before decay sets in. Certain medications reduce the flow of saliva through the mouth, which is essential for good oral health. With regular check-ups, we can stay on top of these and other problems. Gum disease and root decay often show up during senior years, and they require immediate attention to avoid other problems. We continue to emphasize the importance of good nutrition and proper daily dental hygiene.
If you experience bleeding gums or loose teeth, this is often a sign of infected gums. Please do not delay in calling us.
