👵👴 Geriatric Dental Care
Compassionate Dental Solutions for Healthy Aging Smiles
As we age, our dental needs change. At our clinic, we provide specialized dental care for senior citizens, focusing on comfort, prevention, and the management of age-related oral health issues. Our goal is to help our elderly patients maintain function, dignity, and a confident smile throughout their golden years.
🦷 Why Geriatric Dentistry Matters
Aging affects not just the body but also the mouth — including the gums, teeth, bones, and soft tissues. Conditions like dry mouth, tooth wear, gum disease, and tooth loss are more common in elderly patients, and often complicated by existing medical conditions and medications.
Geriatric dental care is about providing the right care at the right pace, tailored to the physical and emotional needs of elderly patients.
💬 Common Oral Health Concerns in Older Adults:
- Tooth loss and difficulty chewing
- Gum infections or receding gums
- Dry mouth (xerostomia) due to medications
- Loose or ill-fitting dentures
- Worn or broken teeth
- Oral cancer risk
- Root caries (decay near the gumline)
- Difficulty maintaining oral hygiene due to mobility issues or cognitive decline
