GERIATRIC DENTISTRY
Geriatric Dentistry is also known as senior dental care. While there is no formal title for a senior dentist, a prosthodontist such as Dr. Roe or Dr. Browning are the most skilled in this area. Aging patients most often present with health concerns such as diabetes, dementia, and gum disease. As patients age, their oral health can decline. The aging process and normal wear and tear, and improper hygiene can take a toll on the teeth.
Some common issues with again patients can include:
- Dry Mouth- this can be caused by medications and can make your mouth more susceptible to cavities
- Stained teeth- Your teeth are made up of 3 layers, nerve, dentin, and enamel. Over the years, the enamel wears down, and the teeth become more yellow.
- Gum Disease- This is often caused by tobacco use, plaque, ill-fitting dentures, or disease and is common in aging patients
- Tooth Loss- 1 in 4 senior patients have lost their adult teeth by the age of 65 due to injury, illness, or decay.
Our prosthodontists are skilled in handling all the common issues elderly patients may have. We can treat these issues with cleanings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and more.
