Dry Mouth...
More
seniors today have retained their own teeth, avoiding the trauma of
removable dentures. Many are on medications creating dryness of the
mouth as a side effect. Without the natural benefit of saliva to
decrease bacterial action, we see an increase of cavities on the exposed
root surfaces of these patients.
Anyone on a medication causing a dry mouth effect should be encouraged
to see their hygienist for regular dental cleanings and topical fluoride
rinses.
For more information regarding dental problems of the elderly, please
call our office.
