Seniors and Their Specific Needs
Teeth and gums show signs of age, just like the rest of our bodies. Fillings become weak and loosen and need replacement before decay sets in around them. Gum disease is common in seniors and needs immediate attention before the problem becomes serious. The flow of saliva through the mouth can be lessened due to certain medications. We can reverse this problem with basic remedies. And often, teeth have lost their luster and brilliance from years of caffeine and tobacco use. Regular check-ups are necessary to keep any minor problem from becoming a major one. We encourage continued good nutrition and proper daily hygiene. If ever gums start to bleed or you experience a loose tooth or teeth, please contact our office immediately.
