senior dental care
Advancing age puts many older adults at risk for a number of oral health problems, such as: darkened teeth, dry mouth, diminished sense of taste, root decay, gum disease, tooth loss, or uneven jawbone.
Age in and of itself is not a dominant or sole factor in determining oral health. However, certain medical conditions, such as arthritis in the hands and fingers, may make brushing or flossing difficult to impossible to perform. Medications you may be taking can also affect your oral health and may make a change in your dental treatment necessary.
Daily brushing and flossing of your natural teeth is essential to keeping them in good health. Plaque can build up quickly on the teeth of older adults, especially if oral hygiene is neglected, and lead to tooth decay and gum disease. To maintain good oral health, it's important for all individuals -- regardless of age -- to:
- Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride-containing toothpaste
- Floss at least once a day
- Visit your dentist on a regular schedule for cleaning and oral examination
For more information on how to care for your teeth, mouth, and gums, visit the American Dental Association website or the Health section of the AARP website.
