Senior dental care is a specialized service that we offer. While it’s important to care for your teeth at any age, it can become increasingly difficult for the elderly to take proper care of their teeth and oral health.
Aging can lead to dental problems that a patient may not have experienced during childhood or adulthood. Basic hygiene, for example, is of paramount importance for senior citizens as it is easier for plaque to accumulate. Make sure to brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day. After a thorough cleaning, we can provide fluoride application. Because of recession, seniors have much more root exposed. The roots are much more prone to decay and sensitivity. The many medications seniors often take causes dry mouth and worsen the decay.
