Routine dental care helps protect your overall health and independence, while restorative dentistry improves your ability to eat, chew and smile without discomfort. Why oral health is especially important for seniors:
Poor oral health has been linked to several serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes complications and nutritional deficiencies.
Seniors are more prone to gum disease resulting from improper dental health, ill-fitting dental appliances, and diseases such as cancer or diabetes. Other issues such as dry mouth syndrome are often caused by medications commonly subscribed as we get older.
As we age, the supporting bone structure for the teeth, including the jaw, may shift, which can wreak havoc on your bite and contribute to tooth decay, sensitivity and discomfort.
Proper dental care is essential to a good quality of life as we age. Missing teeth and ill-fitting dentures can greatly reduce enjoyment of food and cause embarrassment, taking away your confidence.
