Our teeth mature and decline along with the rest of our bodies. Even our previous dental work weakens and may fracture with age. Fillings may need to be replaced before cavities set in underneath and go undetected until the roots are damaged. We are alert to the dental concerns of seniors. Plaque may concentrate on the surface of teeth and lead to decay. We check for gum infection and are always watching our patients for the signs of this problem - red, swollen, or bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, as well as loose teeth. After years of caffeine and tobacco consumption, teeth grow dull and need professional whitening to restore their original luster. Some medications reduce the necessary flow of saliva through the mouth, and we have products that will ease this complication. We promote good nutrition, daily hygiene, and routine check-ups to help your smile stay amazing and keep your natural teeth healthy for a lifetime.

No matter how you lose a tooth – gum disease, decay, accident or other trauma – you should know that without a replacement you may soon experience a host of other issues. Losing even one tooth can cause your other teeth to change position and ultimately alter the way you process nutrients from your food. You may suffer weight loss or gain, a sunken or wrinkled facial appearance, or even an unwanted change in your speech patterns. We offer dental implants that replace as many teeth as you are missing. Designed to blend with your remaining teeth, they look so natural that at first glance even a dentist will have trouble telling the difference.
The American Dental Association has created informative videos called Ask the Dentist. Here is their video on: 'How Can I Help My Elderly Parent Brush Her Teeth?'
With the American population living longer, seniors' oral health has become an important issue, as has the widespread problem of elder abuse. Every year more than 2.5 million older Americans may be victims of elder abuse, and in some cases dentists serve as the first line of defense, according to a report in the May/June 2005 issue of General Dentistry, the clinical, peer-reviewed journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

Your teeth and gums change over time, just as your body
does. We are attentive to the dental concerns of
seniors. Plaque may build up on the surface of teeth and
lead to decay. Fillings may weaken and need to be
replaced before cavities set in under fillings and go
unnoticed until roots are affected. We check for gum
infection and always alert our patients to the signs of
this problem – red, swollen, or bleeding gums when
brushing or flossing, and loose teeth. After years of
caffeine and tobacco consumption, teeth lose their
brilliance and need professional whitening to regain
their original luster. Some medications reduce the
necessary flow of saliva through the mouth, and we have
products that will alleviate this problem. We emphasize
good nutrition, daily hygiene, and regular check-ups to
help your smile stay healthy and keep your natural teeth
for a lifetime.
